BREAKING NEWS: A New Grand Jury has been seated. Fitz to present evidence...

"The White House now must brace itself for the possibility that Mr. Fitzgerald's probe, far from winding down, may have just gotten a second wind. Prosecutors deposed Mr. Woodward in anticipation of presenting that evidence to a new grand jury, according to a person familiar with the situation. The one that indicted Mr. Libby expired on Oct. 28. That could require that Mr. Card and the unnamed official be called to testify about their conversations with Mr. Woodward. A White House spokeswoman declined to comment."

W's random flacks can spin till they're in their graves, or spin into their graves, or whatever. Barone's crap isn't quite as patently ridiculous on the face of it as the Washington Times crap you posted, but I can't quite see how another of W's hacks leaking to another W suckup who claims to be a "journalist" is supposed to get Libby off the hook. There's still no justification for Libby's idiotic claim that he heard about Plame "from reporters", there's still Libby's notes indicating he heard if from Cheney.

On the conventional reality front, all that Woodward's revelation shows is that the WH leak campaign was broader than previously known, and there's another unnamed leaker involved. How that's supposed to somehow come out in W's favor is obscure. You may now dig up another bloviating pundit to spin it W's way, though. I'm sure all you got to do is pop over to LindyBill's Church of W and you'll find a limitless supply of "objective" sources on the matter.
