Actually, the Libby indictment makes it pretty clear that Fitzgerald thinks she WAS COVERT prior to this whole episode.

AFAIK, he has only said her employment with the CIA was classified information, probably because he has the memo with the paragraph that she was a CIA employee marked secret. That doesn't mean she was covert.

I posted this on another thread this morning:

Question for anyone.....

The letter appointing Fitzgerald is dated December 30, 2003

The letter from Comey to Fitzgerald authorizing an expansion is dated Februaury 6, 2004.

A mere 30-some odd days.

For us non-laywers out here , would that indicate :

1. a request for clarification of responsibilities
or
2. Fitzgerald did, in fact, learn quickly Plame was not covert?
