Anybody else sick of this garbage?

I'm not saying this as a liberal, or a Democrat, but as an American.
Is anyone else following the "Scooter" Libby investigation?
How much garbage are we supposed to believe here?
My favorite portion of this article (aside from its mention of "Wilson" in the second, third, and fourth paragraphs without identifying Joseph Wilson until the eighth paragraph, but I digress...) is where it says "Libby's defense team is expected to argue that any discrepancies in what Libby told investigators stem from his difficult role as a busy government official distracted by urgent national security matters."
"Urgent national security matters"? It's my belief that "Keeping Mum About CIA Operatives' Identities" might fall under "National Security Matters". Perhaps not of the "Urgent" kind, but still, that should be one of those things one keeps in mind at all times. Don't you think?
Even someone like me, who has no common sense (ask around), thinks that the timing of the leak (7/14/03) comes a little too closely on the heels of Mr. Wilson's published criticism of Mr. Libby's boss' policies (7/6/03).
It's bad enough that they've set up poor Scooter to take the fall here. Now it's turning into something of a circus, where Karl Rove is the ringmaster, hoping that all the rumors and contradicting bits of hearsay passed as evidence lead to acquittal for all.
