It has been months since the story broke, and I haven't seen indictment one. I want to see Scooter, and Rove perp walked and on trial for treason.

4. Pardon my ignorance
Are "they" the Attorney General's office, special prosecutor, or Congress?

I fear nothing will be resolved in connection with this intentional leak before the election, unless the people rise up and demand it; which won't happen, unfortunately.

Thanks

5. WaPo: Leak Prosecutor Seeks To Question Reporters
That means this phase is almost done.
Although that could mean either they are finishing without any indictments, or they are about to issue some.

Here's the link to the Washington Post article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A28138-2004May14?language=printer

Leak Prosecutor Seeks To Question Reporters

By Susan Schmidt
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, May 15, 2004; Page A07

A special prosecutor investigating whether administration officials illegally leaked the name of an undercover CIA operative sought yesterday to interview two Washington Post reporters in connection with the probe.

Special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald told Post lawyer Eric Lieberman that he wants to talk to Post reporters Walter Pincus and Glenn Kessler but declined to discuss the information he is seeking, Lieberman said. Lieberman said he told Fitzgerald he would respond to the request next week.

The request to interview reporters may suggest the probe is winding up, because Justice Department guidelines require that prosecutors exhaust all other avenues before taking the step of calling reporters before a grand jury. If that is the case, as some attorneys for witnesses believe, it is not clear whether Fitzgerald is moving toward seeking indictments in the case or whether he is preparing to complete it without bringing criminal charges.

Because the probe involves a possible national security breach, it is being conducted amid extraordinary secrecy. Fitzgerald has interviewed some current and former White House officials repeatedly, people involved in the case have said. Several administration officials have testified before a grand jury in recent weeks, some for the first time.

3. Good question
I sure haven't. Seems to have been shuffled under the carpet by the "liberal" media.
