A long time ago. He needs a rabies shot.
But there are much better ways than a special prosecutor. You only appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the administration itself, so that's the focus of the investigation.
On another note, Salon has an article up saying that NATO sources confirmed that Fitzgerald requested and received an unpublished Italian government investigation of the forgeries
Contacted Nato huh???
The CIA did say that, the DOJ did it's investigation, and I hate to say it, but despite some of the stuff we still don't know about Wilson, I'm pretty sure White house folks are getting indicted this week. We need to get our heads around this now, cause I'm pretty sure it's going down that way...
We?
You've been here 90 minutes and already it's "we?"
Gotta stop lurking sometime. :)
So do we conclude from this? 1) She was a covert agent who had been compromised or 2) that the DOJ upon dismissing that claim turned up something else or 3) that they wanted an independent confirmation because of the politics involved?
Interesting, huh?
Yep ... leads me to believe even more that what the media/press is reporting is full of BS
2 & 3
Do I hear an AMEN, brothahs and sistahs?
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"So why do we have a special prosecutor digging for two years to investigate, when there is no crime?!" >>
[1] Because GW Bush wimped out again and [2] because his much-vaunted serially-wimped-out Attorney-General, busy draping his departments statues, "recused himself" from a simple administrative chore and gave his activist "Democrat" assistant A-G free rein to appoint his activist "Democrat" pal to investigate absolutely nothing on condition he screwed over some Republicans in the process.
"Chrissie has decided to play to the blogosphere and other whacko lefties."
That's because Keith Olbermann started getting better ratings than Chrissy-poo.
"He was really serious about the "uniter, not a divider" a few years back. But, outside of Texas, that's a fool's errand."
One would hope by now that Bush would have learned that when you extend a hand of friendship to the Democrats, you are more likely than not to pull back a bloody stump.
First of all Novak didn't call to find out if she was a "spy" he called to verify that she recommended her husband for the trip to Niger. If the CIA wanted the story quashed they didn't have to tell Novak that she was undercover, they only had to say "Don't print that story" No explaination required. Any reputable journalist would have stopped right there. If they needed further incentive to not publish, a simple "you will be prosecuted" would have sufficed. And yes, they can, and do do that.
Any of the three are posibilities really. Looking at what's going on, who's doing what, what's been going on as far as who's being called to testify, and what the various people leaking are saying, I'm guessing #1. But no one really knows for sure of course. Guess we'll find out soon enough.
...and all because Ashcroft didn't want to open himself up to charges of "coverup". Rather ironic, considering what's going on now.

I am afraid you hit the nail on the head and are 100% correct.
Mike Barone is THE MAN.
It was about time someone pointed out the facts so clearly.
