He wasn't because Fitz KNEW THERE WAS NOTHING ILLEGAL...cause his wife was NOT COVERT!!! Novak mentions just that........yet Fitz indicted Libby for forgetting the exact conversations he had had over Plame. Not that Libby didn't have enough to remember!!!

What a political HACK Fitz is and what a disgrace!!!

PLEASE MR. PRESIDENT DO NOT REAPPOINT FITZ!!!

I believe the issue of reappointing Fitzgerald as U. S. Attorney for Chicago is a red herring. The Chicago reporter made a big deal challenging Dubya to have the guts to reappoint him. I don't think Dubya has to do anything. These guys serve at the pleasure of the AG. AG should let Fitz twist in the wind. Fitz did allow grand jury leaks, did grand standing, did have an indictment press conference where he exaggerated the proof he could produce, did waste a lot of time and money after it became obvious that he had no substantive case, and did disrupt the operations of the Executive Branch with his exhaustive investigation and records requests. He does not deserve to be a federal prosecutor. He does not follow their ethics or guidelines.
