...Scooter) Libby, has been charged with brazenly obstructing the investigation into who leaked the name of CIA officer Valerie Plame; Bush senior adviser Karl Rove, who while not indicted has still emerged as a player in the scandal; and chief of staff Andrew Card, who gets some of the blame for bungling the response to Hurricane Katrina and even more for the botched Supreme Court nomination of Harriet Miers. "All relationships with the President, except for his relationship with Laura, have been damaged recently," the White House adviser says. The closest aide who is undamaged is Secretary of State Condoleezza...
...thanks to a Rube Goldberg bureaucracy that left local officials like Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Alvarez flummoxed by the "intricacies" of getting simple items like ice to "PODs" (points of distribution). Governor Jeb Bush tried to shield his brother George W. Bush's Administration by insisting that people "blame me" for supply shortfalls; but Gloria Williams, 45, whose apartment building was shattered by a massive fallen tree, wasn't persuaded. After the ice that she says she stockpiled before Wilma ran out, she hauled her family to "PODs" in a futile search for more-then waited five hours Thursday...

People who worked with Libby tell TIME that he regarded Wilson's criticisms as part of a wider effort by the CIA to shift blame to the White House for the faulty pre-war claims about Iraq...
...President, in a bit of chutzpah, tried to blame the Miers withdrawal today on the Senate. "It is clear that senators would not be satisfied until they gained access to internal documents concerning advice provided during her tenure at the White House-disclosures that would undermine a president's ability to receive candid counsel," Bush said. But no one was buying it. The problem wasn't the process but a perception that this was an instance of naked cronyism at work. No one believed this was about executive privilege any more than people thought that FEMA Director Michael Brown...
