[lbo-talk] John Dean: There Will Be No Plame Indictments

[mike larkin]

"It is difficult to envision Patrick Fitzgerald
prosecuting anyone, particularly Vice President Dick
Cheney, who believed they were acting for reasons of
national security. While hindsight may find their
judgment was wrong, and there is no question their
tactics were very heavy-handed and dangerous, I am not
certain that they were acting from other than what
they believed to be reasons of national security. They
were selling a war they felt needed to be undertaken.

In short, I cannot imagine any of them being indicted,
unless they were acting for reasons other than
national security. Because national security is such a
gray area of the law, come next week, I can see this
entire investigation coming to a remarkable
anti-climax, as Fitzgerald closes down his Washington
Office and returns to Chicago...."
