Fitzgerald does sound qualified

Investor's Business Daily takes a dim view of the Plame Affair investigation:

Plamegate: Patrick Fitzgerald's three-year manhunt to track down who blew Valerie Plame's CIA "cover" has been exposed as a costly sham....

Fitzgerald knew in the early days of his politicized witch hunt that no crime was committed. No one intentionally revealed the identity of a truly covert agent. Yet he made a reporter, Miller, spend nearly 90 days in jail for refusing to reveal her source.

Meanwhile, Fitzgerald refused to reveal to the public the true source. From top to bottom, this has been one of the most disgraceful abuses of prosecutorial power in this country's history. That it's taking place at a time of war only magnifies its sordidness.

We wouldn't be surprised if Fitzgerald ran for high elective office in the next few years — likely as a Democrat. The Plame case proves he can bend the truth with the proficiency of the slickest of pols.

Seems like it's time to ask Mr. Fitzgerald some questions, and demand answers. Still, would the NY Times put them on the front page?

I wonder if he will get to sit next to Jimmy Carter at the next Democratic National Convention. Surely he has been nearly as useful as Michael Moore.
