He claims that he does not know why Libby "lied".
Excuse me, but do you send someone off to prison if you don't know what his motive was for "lying"? What did he have to gain? Was he protecting someone? Fitzgerald doesn't know the motive?
I'm confused.
P.S. He did appear a little obsessive during his press conference.

Imagine a laywer putting Miller or Cooper or Russert on the stand, asking whether they knew about Plame's CIA status beforehand, and then asking them how they knew. The above mentioned names will all be prosecution witnesses. Cross should be brutal.

According to the info I pulled up on Google, Caine Mutiny was his last "major" film role, and he died three years later.

Why couldn't we have found this guy Fitzgerald instead of Starr?
Slick Willie and Hillary Rotten would be breaking rocks on Devil's island forever.

Queeg fits. I thought it was self-serving and preening.
Limbaugh's take was that Fitz knows it's weak, and he's hoping somebody comes forward to implicate Rove.
It may be that Fiztgerald is trying to justify two years for something that a look at Plame's "status", the dates, and a
reading of the Identities Protection Act could have been dismissed in two minutes.
To: Congressman Billybob
I thought of a different captain, namely Ahab, but what we're both thinking of is the same, except, of course for the little chrome balls.

I watched the entire press conference. Fitzgerald was extremely nervous. He repeatedly fumbled over his words, referred to people by the wrong gender and was sweating profusely. His baseball analogy was convoluted and unhelpful (and I'm a huge baseball fan). My initial reaction was "That's it?" My brother phoned with the exact same reaction. This was a huge waste of time & gov't resources. Also, we've only heard one side of the story. The media has already convicted Libby, but I'll wager he has a very different story to tell.
To: gusopol3
It's obvious the boy likes the camera's and the spotlight. An old country saying if "bull$hit was music, the boy would be a one man brass band" seems an accurate description. How else can you explain an hour and a half of saying nothing!! Also sure is funny that he knew a bunch of the reporters by their first names.....

It's now pretty obvious that Libby (or anybody else, ftm) did not "knowingly" out a "covert agent". She was not covert.
To: Congressman Billybob
Caught Fitzgerald's news conference and was not impressed. He certainly sounded like he was on a mission to take an administration scalp. Why didn't he go after Wilson for lying and Ms. Plame for obstucting the government of the US.
Bottom line Fitzgerald is a political hack supported by Chuckie Schumer. I hope Bush pardons Libby and nominates Luttig to the Supremes this weekend.

could be the GJers, knowing DC Demos, were kicking up such a fuss, he felt he had to give them something. It was surprising to hear him admit that he didn't know the final indictment document was going to openly state that one of the counts of perjury came as a reult of a response to a GJer.

"Fitzgerald seemed honest enough, if he is correct, Libby lied to a grand jury. Duh....prosecute. This is a whole lot of zero."![](http://webpages.charter.net/aircover/USAflag.gif)
Fitz did us a favor. Marc Rich's attorney is now gone from the Naval Observatory (VP's residence).
Libby won't be missed, except perhaps by liberal reporters who used him as their White house "inside source."
Which is to say that a liberal witch hunt has bagged their own spy.

If the G.J. expires today, then in reality Rove is in the clear unless something new and unexpected turns up, right?

Thanks.......I really can't believe that such a nervous Norvis would have the balls to take on the entrenched Daley administration in Chicago. As to the tone of the presser, did you get the impression that Fitzgerald's investigation was limited in scope to "who outed Valerie "SPY" Plame"?

To: Congressman Billybob
So basically, after US troops found (1)500 tons of uranium (yellow cake) in Iraq and 1.8 tons of partially enriched uranium (easy stuff for their neighbor Iran to utilize) and we had to fight with the UN about its removal, we are now fighting as to why CIA spin (and deception) and French forgeries shouldn't have been relied upon instead of the correct predictions of the Bush Administration leaders when talking to the citizens of our country.
Dr. Strangelove was clearly short of the stupidity that governments are capable of exhibiting with the help of what passes for a free press and a loyal opposition party.
