quell surprise.

Anyone remember that mysterious fire in Dick Cheney's office caused by the shredding machine?

If memory serves, it was during or just after that Grand Jury proceeding we were hoping to see Karl Rove, Scooter Libby, and Dicky himself frog marched to a prosecution that just didn't happen, except for Scooter fell on his sword for his master.

It's all sort of hazy right now, but it was a sort of precedent in how these kinds of things were going to play out for any level of future security breaches conducted within the high offices of the State Department.

I was actually stunned that Petraeus was forced to resign on his breach. Not that he didn't deserve to be, but I don't get how some in high places can manage to avoid facing criminal prosecutions and others get nailed for similar conduct or worse.

mind boggling.

In any event, this appears to be going just as I predicted so far.

Fitzmas Redux.
