Facts are irrelevant to this witch hunt.
Fitzmas case appears to be unraveling in a very public and obvious manner, so I think he'll be forced into an uncomfortable position. Woodward cannot be ignored. And I feel sure that Libby's lawyers will be able to take full advantage of these recent revelations.
You have it right. Fitzgerald pissed a way a lot of money, found nothing, the media had cranked itself up looking to celebrate a great victory and Fitz had to give them something. He gave them Libby. Its all a farce and has been since the beginning and Personally I think its the Bush haters in the CIA that started the whole thing.
Pretty much sums up this stunt and the 9/11 Commission.....
