SAY WHAT?

Now here is a non-story posting as a story.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald on Friday told President George W. Bush's top political adviser, Karl Rove, that he has yet to decide whether he will bring charges over the leak of a covert CIA operative's identity, Rove's lawyer said.

"The special counsel has not advised Mr. Rove that he is a target of the investigation and affirmed that he has made no decision concerning charges," Rove's lawyer, Robert Luskin, said. "The special counsel has indicated that he does not anticipate the need for Mr. Rove's further cooperation."

Given the fact that Fitzgerald had Rove in for 4+ hours of testimony today, isn't the fact that Fitzgerald has yet to make up his mind self-evident? It's not as if this was a social call. From the way this story was written, and the way I suspect some people will link to it, you'd think this was meaningful news.

Good god people - its called an "investigation" for a reason. You investigate, then you decide. They follow one another in sequence. Duh.
