I think the idea of a special prosecutor is inimicable to our legal system. The present system works far better. If she's calling for the AG to investigate, fine, though I think the FBI already is investigating.
Personally, I think anyone who--after the Plame fiasco--suggests the appointment of ANY sp, esp THIS one--deserves to be pummeled.
Then pummel away. I had the pleasure to meet Kenneth Starr when he was Solicitor General and then see him operate as a Special Prosecutor. I thought he conducted himself rather well.
