According to published reports, Patrick Fitzgerald, the special prosecutor in the case, has interviewed President Bush and Vice President Cheney and called Karl Rove, among others, to testify before the grand jury.Iraq increasingly looks like Vietnam, and the Chimpie regime looks like it's found its very own Watergate.
"The breadth of Fitzgerald's inquiry has led to speculation that it has evolved into an investigation of a conspiracy to leak Plame's identity," the Chicago Tribune observed on Friday, "or of an attempt to cover up White House involvement in the leak."
"Principiis obsta; Finem respice." Olaf Rotkohl thinks that the pursuit of power over others is in itself a corruption, and those who seek such power are fundamentally corrupt.

If he did, then it gets very, very interesting. The last paragraphs in the E&P piece tells why.

...or their Waterloo. Either way, their monstrous pride will goeth before their massive fall, with any luck.
That, or the media will get bored with Tom Cruise, and set upon Rove in proper bloodlust fashion.
Get 'im, boys!
Oh, to be a fly on the wall when Rove's counsel, Robert Luskin, informs him that he's looking at serious time in a no-bullshit federal prison. It would give a whole new meaning to the phrase "wet-ass moment."
