Wow. Could end-game be approaching? How is that campaign to restore honor to White House coming along, anyway?

The federal prosecutor investigating who leaked the identity of a CIA operative is expected to signal within days whether he intends to bring indictments in the case, legal sources close to the investigation said on Wednesday.As a first step, prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald was expected to notify officials by letter if they have become targets, said the lawyers, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.Fitzgerald could announce plea agreements, bring indictments, or conclude that no crime was committed. By the end of this month he is expected to wrap up his nearly two-year-old investigation into who leaked CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity.The inquiry has ensnared President George W. Bush's top political adviser, Karl Rove, and Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, Lewis “Scooter” Libby. The White House had long maintained that Rove and Libby had nothing to do with the leak but reporters have since named them as sources.Rove's attorney, Robert Luskin, declined to say whether his client had been contacted by Fitzgerald. In the past, Luskin has said that Rove was assured that he was not a target.
For reference, and so I don't have to retrace more steps than necessary:
Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 and addendum, Day 4, Day 5 and addendum, Day 6, Day 7, day 8 and bonus, Day 9, Day 10, Day 11, Day 14, Day 15, Day 19 (Ben Sargent edition), Day 20, by which time we were all very tired of typing the same title over and over, and stopped using that particular title for a while. Not that we ignored the case, here, here, and here, for instance.
Monday brought this tidbit, which I guess would be Day 85 if my math is accurate.
Of course, there were a few from an earlier incarnation of this web zine, such as the first time we used the title, Frog March, or this, this, this, and even this from June of 2004.
Can you spell obsession? I spell it K-A-R-L-R-O-V-E
