'Official A' Stands Out in Indictment - Yahoo! News: "Fri Oct 28, 6:52 PM ET

WASHINGTON - In a sign of the trouble lingering for the Bush administration, the indictment handed up Friday in the
CIA leak probe refers to someone at the White House known as 'Official A.'

The unidentified official could become a courtroom witness against I. Lewis 'Scooter' Libby, who left his job as vice presidential aide shortly after his indictment on charges of obstruction of justice, making false statements and perjury.

Although other officials are mentioned but not named in the indictment, all were identified Friday afternoon during briefings at the Justice Department.

Except for 'Official A.'

The mysterious official is identified in the indictment only as 'a senior official in the White House.'"
