from the transcript thread:
"
QUESTION: Can you say whether or not you know whether Mr. Libby knew that Valerie Wilson's identity was covert and whether or not that was pivotal at all in your inability or your decision not to charge under the Intelligence Identity Protection Act?
FITZGERALD: Let me say two things. Number one, I am not speaking to whether or not Valerie Wilson was covert. And anything I say is not intended to say anything beyond this: that she was a CIA officer from January 1st, 2002, forward.
I will confirm that her association with the CIA was classified at that time through July 2003. And all I'll say is that, look, we have not made any allegation that Mr. Libby knowingly, intentionally outed a covert agent.
FITZGERALD: We have not charged that. And so I'm not making that assertion.
"
He is a FLAMING IDIOT BEYOND BELIEF if at this point in time, THE MOST IMPORTANT FACT is still unknown or uncertain. It's makes such a mockery of his much vaunted 'thoroughness'.
Huh...thanks for digging out this clip...seems logical to me that Libby damaged himself if this has nothing to do with Plame (covert CIA agent My Ass)
One can contrast this with Clinton's behavior, which did involve real criminal behavior.
So in other words. NO CRIME was committed and Friz is throwing up what he DOES have instead of using his judgment and say "There not there there" and closing down shop.
