Ongoing investigation and keeping the mouth shut aren't known as virtues in the left's world. Now (he did the right thing?) they are twisting him

Wrong!!! Fitzpatrick knew the truth would stop his investigation as there was nothing to investigate. Powell had absolutely no legal obligation to keep his mouth shut. He had a moral obligation to inform the White House when it became obvious that Fitzpatrick was on a witch hunt and Libby was not the leaker. Powell and Armitage's silence made them silent partners in a smear campaign against this administration. The fact that Corn and Isikoff knew two years ago also makes them silent partners in this smear.

I once was a great believer in Powell and wished he had run for President. My judgment of this man was in great error. He is simply another political whore in Washington.

Also the multiple times that Fizpatrick called Rove to testify was political theater to smear this administration. When Rove was being deposed Fitzpatrick knew it was Armitage.

Fitzpatrick was on a campaign to destroy an administration in a time of war. The weakening of the administration gives aid and comfort to those that are trying to kill our troops in Iraq. Fitzpatrick is pond scum!!!!!!!!

I'm not saying you're wrong, nor am I saying I'm right. I'm just speculating. I think the left wishes like hell this is the end of it, but I don't think this is over by a long shot : )

As I posted, the article stated:

"The State Department told the FBI of Armitage's role and informed the White House that they had given information to the FBI about the scandal..."

I'm operating on a genius poker bluff, here. This, IMHO, is the poker game of the ages.
