On May 13th, Leopold reported that Karl Rove, like Libby, had been served with an indictment for perjury and obstruction of justice. This report has not been confirmed by other media sources, triggering a fierce debate on the internet about the accuracy Leopold&#8217;s report that Rove has been served with an indictment. <i>Truthout<\/i> editor, Marc Ash, is <a href=\"http:\/\/forum.truthout.org\/blog\/story\/2006\/5\/17\/125248\/099\">defending<\/a> the accuracy of the report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guest blogged by David Edwards of Veredictum.com Video in Streaming Flash format&#8230; Video in Windows Media format&#8230; Yesterday, The New York Daily News reported that two top CIA officials discussed Valerie plame with Cheney&#8217;s former Chief of Staff, Lewis &#8220;Scooter&#8221; Libby.
