One count of obstruction of justice, two counts of making false statements and two counts of perjury in the CIA leak probe.

Break out the KY!

Libby, 55, is considered Cheney's alter ego, a chief architect of the war with Iraq. A trial would give the public a rare glimpse into Cheney's influential role in the West Wing and his behind-the-scenes lobbying for war. Though Libby has worked in relative obscurity, he is one of the administration's influential advisers because of his proximity to Cheney, one of the most powerful vice presidents in history.

According to the indictment, Libby also engaged in obstruction of justice by impeding Fitzgerald's investigation.

Rove's lawyer said he was told by special prosecutor Fitzgerald's office that investigators would continue their probe into the aide's conduct.

I love this:

Trying to put a brave face on one of the darkest days of his presidency, Bush traveled to Norfolk, Va., earlier in the day to deliver a speech on terrorism. "Thanks for the chance to get out of Washington," he said.
