Plamesville Diary: Cover-Up!(Open Source Politics / Mark A. R. Kleiman)
"In the news likely to dominate the current news cycle, the President, whose supporters have been arguing for ten days now that revealing Valerie Plame's identity as a CIA undercover officer was somehow not a crime, calmly announced that it was, indeed, a crime. ... All the documents concerning the Wilson trip and conversations about it that White House staff was ordered on Friday to produce by close of business Tuesday will not be going to the Justice Department. No, they're going to White House Counsel -- that is, to the lawyers for the President, who must be considered a likely suspect, at least as a co-conspirator or accessory. ... So the Bush team plans to give itself two weeks to plan its cover-up, having as a starting basis a full set of the relevant documents, so that they can make sure that any lies they tell can't be easily disproven."
