Several interesting articles today to recommend, but really my main focus today is following the Rove saga after Jason Leopold's story last night that Karl Rove has already been indicted under seal.

According to the WaPo, Mary McCarthy, the CIA Inspector General who was fired very recently for talking with Dana Priest, "had been probing allegations of criminal mistreatment by the CIA and its contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan -- was startled to hear what she considered an outright falsehood, according to people familiar with her account." (It must be said that this story is very friendly to her and appears to have come out of her camp.)

The WaPo also has an interesting piece discussing Iraq war vets experiences reintegrating when they come home.

And the Isikoff story on the release by Fitzgerald of hand written notes on Cheney's copy of Joe Wilson's editorial seems to be getting alot of play, but quite frankly, I think that pales next to the possibility that Fitzgerald might have revealed a CIA officer warning Libby and maybe Cheney against outing Valerie Plame. That would mean they knew she was covert and intentionally outed her anyway, breaking the law.

My main focus today, though, will be watching for reports and details that might confirm Karl Rove's reported indictment.
