Speculation, rumors and outright fabrication
Just like everyone else in Washington, I have been following the breathless "news" reporting by the Old Media on the CIA leak probe. There has been so little information coming from Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald that reporters are engaging in speculation over body language and treating rumors as fact - but mostly just making things up. The common theme: Not a single named source in any story, not one.
This could end up in many different ways, and is hard for anyone to predict with any degree of certainty. Everyone is just guessing - and hoping. The one prediction that I will make is that if Fitzgerald doesn't indict anyone and doesn't file a final report (some are suggesting he couldn't legally do so even if he wanted to) that Old Media journalists may have to be put on suicide watch. At the top of that list would be MSNBC's Chris Matthews, who has been having spontaneous orgasms every night on his "Hardball" program while contemplating the downfall of Rove and the Bush administration.
