It was pathetic. A desperate attempt to rationalize his complete failure to find any crime to charge anyone with. Real courage would of been to come out and tell the Dinosaurs the truth. There is NO crime here. Sorry JUST because a Prosecutor makes an accusation does NOT mean he is being truthful. This is a Political CYA cause after the feeding frenzy, he KNEW he would get a Media ream job if he did not charge SOMEBODY with SOMETHING
If that's the case, why aren't Bush and Cheney expressing outrage at the indictment? Why aren't they going to bat for their loyal aide? Why did they accept Libby's resignation almost before it was handed to them?
All Fitzgerald did by issuing his indictment was pass the buck. It looks good on it's face but several criminal attorneys have already more or less deemed it "bullshit".
I agree it was pathetic,and why did he not answer the question ,was Plame a covert or not?He said it had nothing to do with the case,that is retarded it has everything to do with the case.
