was the reporter I was waiting for on this one. He usually gets it right. Whether we ever see a Rove indictment is getting blurred by whether we will ever see Cheney on the witness stand. Both would be ideal.

Jason Leopold, to be so convincing to his editors, must have been the victim of a practical joke, perhaps played by someone who doesn't like to see bloggers get scoops on the regular media. If he had simply made all this up, no one else at TO would have listened to him. So, it makes sense that, Leopold's reputation for veracity having already been in some trouble, somebody just delivered the final blow. Will Madsen be next?

And, just for perspective, why doesn't Matt Drudge take more flak when he so obviously makes stuff up out of thin air?-- (I won't give him "whole cloth").

Isn't Leopold supposed to reveal his sources today?

Has Salon asked Leopold or Ash for the date he will reveal them? Thar list will help clear up the story.

I'm pretty sure Leopold meant to write 24 days--that's business days. Sheesh, can't excuse a guy for a simple typo?

It took the New York Daily News more than 2 months to confirm another story reported by Jason Leopold that reported Libby discussing Valerie Plame with CIA officials. This was reported by Keith Olbermann, do you trust him or do you only report bad things about Leopold?

Leopold originally wrote "24 hours," then changed it to "24 business hours." It wasn't a typo, it was a CYA emendation.

He also said in an interview with Ian Masters that the indictment would be made public during the week after the alleged May 12 indictment.

Remember, the story is that Rove was actually indicted on May 12, so his getting indicted at a later date won't vindicate the reporting. Jason Leopold nor Truthout are just about out of credibility.
