WHAT IS HE BUILDING IN THERE?

Patrick Fitzgerald is about to reveal what he is building in there. Evidence of widespread wrongdoing and conspiracy is available to every American with a cheap laptop and a cable subscription. If we have those building blocks, imagine the evidence that Fitzgerals must have.

What we know -- someone created fake documents related to Niger and Iraq and used them as a false pretense for us to invade Iraq. And when Joe Wilson made an honest effort to find out the facts, a plan was hatched to discredit and punish him by revealing the identity of his undercover CIA agent wife, Valerie Plame.

By comparison, Watergate was a child's game. Patrick Fitzgerald is on the most important criminal case in American history. His prosecutorial authority in this case is not constrained by any regulation. If his connecting the dots leads to something greater, Fitzgerald has the power to follow the dots wherever they may lead. Hopefully he's uncovering evidence that Karl Rove launched a covert operation to create forged documents, then when Wilson started to uncover the operation he was punished by the outing of his wife. Patrick Fitzgerald's legacy may be that he saved the American people from the people they elected.

Fitzgerald has reportedly asked for a copy of the Italian government's investigation into the break-in of the Niger embassy in Rome and the source of the forged documents.

According to James Moore, who has been covering Karl Rove for the past 25 years said:

"I have seen the spawn of Rove's tortured mind and watched a hundred of his political scams unfold and I am confident I know how this one played out. Rove might have brought it up with his fellow big brains in the White House Iraq Group, a propaganda organization set up to disseminate information supporting the war. There was likely a consensus to move the plan to smack down Wilson out of the White House. Rove always keeps a layer of operatives between himself and the person he gets to pull the trigger. Libby was probably told to manage it out of the VP's office to protect the president because Karl always takes care of his most prized assets. Libby then likely ordered John Hannah and possibly David Wurmser to call the ever-friendly Judy Miller at The New York Times and columnist Robert Novak to give them Valerie Plame's identity.Rove knew that Miller would call Libby of Aspen for confirmation and his old friend Novak was certain to call Rove who, as an unidentified senior White House official, would confirm the identity on background only. Because Novak is a partisan gunslinger, he wrote more quickly than Miller and when she saww the firestorm his story created, she backed of and has since been trying to cover for herself and Libby. Miller's later claim that she cannot remember who gave her the "Valerie Flame" name is as much dissembling as Rove's unconvincing argument that he "forgot" he met with Time reporter Matt Cooper. Karl Rove can remember precinct results from 19th-century presidential elections. He neither fogets nor forgives."

I don't think the administration saw this coming and I think they made many mistakes. Fitzgerald, who took over after John Ashcroft recused himself from the case, is a much sharper and competent special counsel than this administration was ready for. Fitzgerald's greatest weapon is the law. And he seems to know how to use it. If anyone can get our country back he's "THE MAN".
