Now that Fitzgerald has criminalized politics by indicting Libby, FORCE him to apply the same standard to violations of the Hatch act, in the genesis of this controversy.
The CIA Sent Wilson, a KNOWN POLITICAL QUANTITY, who made statements at odds with his Editorial between the trip, and the time he gave the Editorial, and never required a confidentiality agreement. They wanted him to say what he said, and more the likely what he said was written with the
