>Interesting that he gets nailed for lying and obstructing the investigation of the CIA's leak of operative Valerie Plame's identity, but not the leak itself. Who's taking the fall for that?

Ah, but it's easier to take a fall for a minor case of perjury or obstruction of justice (i.e. for covering the crime) that for treason (the crime itself). The penalty for treason is death. So he'll get 3 years in a country club, where he has plenty of time to write his next book. Then, in a little over a year, (at the end of 2008) GWB gives him a pardon.
