Some lawyers close to the case are convinced Fitzgerald has a mysterious "Mr. X"—a yet unknown principal target or cooperating witness.

Hm. Searching the Newsweek article for clues...

Cheney backed the elder Bush's vow to oust Saddam from Kuwait by force, over the objections of Colin Powell, then chairman of the Joint Chiefs, who favored negotiations, and over dire predictions of disaster from the CIA.

Behind the scenes, no one pushed the terror link harder than Libby. He urged Colin Powell's staff to include the (Muhammad Atta-Iraqi Intelligence) Prague meeting in the secretary of State's speech to the United Nations. But Powell wanted no part of it.

Libby turned to a Powell aide. "Don't worry about any of this," he said, according to someone who was in the room. "We'll get back in what you take out."

Powell refused to use the line, but Libby's audacity stunned everyone at the table.

Facts:

Colin Powell resigned from his job as Secretary of State on November 12, 2004.

Colin Powell's son resigned from his job as chairman of the FCC in January, 2005.

Colin Powell is writing a book.

Is Colin Powell Mr. X?

Stay tuned.
