Fitzgerald Update
The NY Times’ Elisabeth Bumiller and David Johnston are reporting that “Patrick J. Fitzgerald, the special prosecutor in the CIA leak case, is expected to decide in the next two to three weeks whether to bring perjury charges against Karl Rove, the powerful adviser to President Bush, lawyers involved in the case said Thursday.”
This comes just a day after Rove’s attorney Robert Luskin told reporters that he’d been assured that Rove isn’t a target of the investigation.
There’s three possible explanations for this: (a) The NY Times is wrong; (b) Luskin is wrong or (c) Fitzgerald lied to Luskin. I’m not automatically inclined to believe Fitzgerald at this point but I’d doubt he’d lie to Rove’s attorney. Considering all their corrections, I’m more inclined to believe that the NY Times might have gotten another story wrong.

Another story wrong by the NYT? Dang! That doesn’t happen very often. No more than once a page or so.
