Can anyone please tell me who requested the special prosecutor and investigation into this whole thing? I just can't recall...or maybe never knew in the first place.
Thanks,

AG Ashcroft appointed Fitzgerald, after the CIA asked the Department of Justice to investigate. Ashcroft wanted to avoid any appearance on conflict or coverup. He did not have to appoint a SP, but did. Of course, if no indictments are returned the moonbats will howl that it is a whitewash by an Aschroft-appointed prosecutor, and by the way Karl Rove must be fired anyway.
