Apparently Fitzgerald never questioned Corn. At least I cannot find that he did.

Nope, I think I saw somewhere that Corn was asked and stated that he had not talked with Fitzgerald's office - if true, this shows yet again the appalling malfeasance and bias of this so-called 'investigation' -- Fitzgerald just met with Joe, took his talking points as the agenda, and went off doing Joe and Valerie's dirty work at PUBLIC expense.....

Some previous FR research on Corn...

From Wilson:

"In February (2003), I had lunch with David Corn, the articulate and determined critic of the war. I had become acquainted with him when we kept bumping into each other in the "green room" at Fox. I shared with him my concerns about the imperial nature of the administration's drive to war, and he asked me to write an article for the Nation. He felt my "establishment" credentials would lend credibility to the point of view espoused by the magazine - a point of view I hasten to add, that, by and large, I had come to share. I agreed and the piece, entitled "Republic or Empire," was published in mid-February."

Post #50, by Fedora:

David Corn writes that Bush's "obsessive focus on Saddam Hussein, transformed the 9/11 recall-a-thon into a prep session for war. They have exploited a terrible event for their next crusade. And on their watch, the horror of that day has been used not to lessen the distance between America and the rest of the world but to increase it, as other nations recoil from and fear Bush's march to war. [A friend in Europe wrote]: "One year ago, everybody here was with the American people, suffering and sympathizing [with them]... Can the Bush administration be for one minute aware of the solidarity and sympathy capital it has wasted?...People here are more afraid of George Bush than of Saddam Hussein." Euro-hyperbole? Perhaps. But on the same day, Joseph Wilson... the last US official to meet with Saddam, also sent me an email and observed, 'It is criminal that the world now fears American jingoism more than Saddam.' Bush has tainted a tragedy."
