[Richard Axtell]

Haven't we been over this ground a million times? Hasn't one of the authors of the law that Fitzgerald would have to cite as violated, Victoria Toensing, explained in detail how Valerie Plame was NOT covered by its stipulations at the time Libby supposedly "outed" her? And hasn't it be shown again and again that the major liar and fraud in this entire affair was Plame's husband, Joe Wilson? Perhaps reality is fraying at its edges, and perhaps facts are being relegated to insignificance, but this whole affair should have been abandoned long ago. What is going on now?

Politics in advance of the 06 elections. I think Fitzgerald has bet his career that the Dem's are in ascendancy and he hopes to ride on their coattails and reap a reward later.
