FINALLY!!
Karl Rove has agreed to cooperate with federal authorities.
WASHINGTON - A federal grand jury has subpoenaed records of former Sen. Pete Domenici, and prosecutors are preparing to interview an ex-aide to former White House political adviser Karl Rove in an investigation of politically tinged firings of U.S. attorneys.
The moves are the clearest sign yet that the criminal inquiry, which began in September, is likely to continue for many months.
Career federal prosecutor Nora R. Dannehy is looking into whether former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, other Bush administration officials or Republicans in Congress should face criminal charges in the dismissals.

Could it be that there might actually be (gasp) consequences? Other than a strongly worded letter?
Three weeks into the Obama administration, there is a glimmer of hope that the attorney firings will actually be looked at seriously. If there is some action on this, what investigations might take place going forward?
If Karl Rove has finally agreed to cooperate, I can see Bush's Executive Privelege house of cards finally tumbling down. There can be no checks and balances if Congress's actions have no teeth, and the idea of hiding everything behind the curtain of "executive privilege" is repulsive
