Coming and going...

Is there any good way to photograph the White House leak investigation story until somebody gets cuffed? When proceedings are closed to the public, are there any interesting images to be found?

So far, apparently not, but that hasn't stopped Reuters, AFP, AP, etc. from filing buckets of "parking lot" and "early morning driveaway" shots—you take what you can get. Take this slideshow on Yahoo News. It's got about 30 photos each of Patrick Fitzgerald (especially Patrick Fitzgerald walking and holding a coffee cup), Karl Rove (in his car, next to his car...), I. Lewis Libby (crutchin' along, then in his car) and Dick Cheney (making the "Dick Cheney, Eater of Rusty Sheet Metal" face).

One shooter for Reuters tried to improve on this with a little foregrounding (above) as Karl Rove walked through a parking lot—too bad Rove's head got swallowed up by a black Dodge Ram's wheel well.
