After you make it past the scary 'Cheney in Chains' headline, the NY Times has what Bush folks (hmm, that includes me) will view as a fairly encouraging story.
The story mentions repeatedly that everyone is cooperating and executive privilege is not being considered (and how does that work when the special counsel is wholly in the executive branch, anyway?). In addition, if Special Counsel Fitzgerald were about to pin a tail on an elephant, we would expect a lot more back-stabbing and finger pointing from the attorneys for the various clients then we see in this story - the Unity Facade is holding!
The WaPo has more:
Lawyers representing witnesses in the case said the latest flurry of witness interview requests could signal that prosecutors are about to bring the investigation to a close. Several lawyers said they expect Fitzgerald would want to talk to Bush and Cheney no matter how his investigation comes out in the end.
I think Valerie is the evil genius behind the outing of Valerie. How else do we arrive at the point where the results of a CIA inquiry are aired in the press in supposed contradiction of the boss's very important speech?

I check the fridge every morning to see if this investigation is a success.
