Dreaming of Potter's Field

I've been avidly following the Plame/Traitor Gate scandal, which threatens to expose the intentional lies, the concerted dis-information campaign run out of the White House in the runup to the Iraq War. Can it be that Dick Cheney (think Lionel Barrymore as "Potter," in "It's a Wonderful Life") and some of his lackeys could go down in flames? I'm a believer. In my heart of hearts I think that the "truth" will out, the evil-doers amongst us (these are the more dangerous threat to our teetering Democracy) will face the music. I'm hoping to see indictments maybe as soon as this week. Rove and Libby are toast...the big question, is whether the intrepid Fitz has the goods on Cheney. Why not? I remember seeing Richard Nixon resign in disgrace less than two years after winning an election in a landslide. It's the classic story, arrogance and hubris overtakes the powerful (they begin to believe they are above all those Poor Schlubs in the heartland, they are above the law), and a sharp prosecutor, the Last Honest Man (What drives him? Doesn't he have a price too?) intent on pursuing the truth, intent on exposing the lies, intent on revealing the corruption, can not be deterred. It's a nice dream...let's see if the reality catches up.
