In order to prove that a crime was committed you need be able to fully
investigate it.  If a key witness is not telling the truth, then you
can't fully investigate, and if you can't fully investigate then you
can't prove the leak.

What we do know is that:

1.) The CIA told Cheney, Cheney told Libby, but Libby said the press told him.
2.) Cheney and Libby discussed how to handle the PR.
3.) Cheney and Libby's MO was to leak data on Fridays so that Cheney
could discuss it Sunday Morning.  "VP Cheney, did you know X?"  "Yeah,
gee, I've heard that."  Put another way, Cheney and Libby had a time
proven method of leaking information to the press and used it often.

Circumstantially, Libby is guilty of the leak, but Mr. Fitzgerald will
need to get cooperation from Libby to continue fully investigating. 
The case against him looks solid: the indictment is unusually detailed
and the evidence and confidence seems high.

The case against Mr. Rove doesn't look so good.  My feeling is if Mr.
Fitzgerald could indict Rove he would've done so.  Even if Libby
turned evidence, a soon-to-be convicted perjurer is not a good
witness.

That being said, more investigating may turn up new sources.
