Softball by CBS.
What an interview. Mr. David Martin did'nt know that the same was told "casually" to Bob Woodward? This is just plain junk. Shame.

I want the special prosecutor prosecuted for
1. continuing to spend tax dollars to investigate the source of the news article revelation when he knew from the start who that source was, and
2. for tying up government officials with this frivolous investigation for years...keeping them from doing their normal important duties and forcing them to spend unnecessary monies on lawyers and
3. for placing people, whom he knew were not guilty of the focus of his investigation, in judicial jeopardy with obvious entrapment schemes!
Fitzgerald%u2019s Nifong (Duke Lacrosse rape case dunce) like tactics are totally un-American! He is, at the very least, guilty of judicial misconduct in my humble opinion...not as an expert, just on the basis of common sense and decency!

AARRUUGGHH! Fitzgerald knew it all along, why is he still investigating. This was a non event, she was NOT covert, there was no outing, nor intent to out her. The media ought to be ashamed as well for keeping it alive when they knew nothing wrong was done. There is a bit of Bush hate in the whole event as well.

efallah and isaacroll or obviously part of the fringe left and listen to too much Air America. To clarify a couple thinks for you knucklheads....First, Armitage hates the administration, he was a hold over from Clinton. The state department in general(prior to Dr.Rice), was at odds with the administration, including Powell. In regards to lying to Fitgerald, a prosecuter can not entrap a witness when they know they are innocent. Libby couldn't have possibly "outed" plame because her name was already known, and thus he should not have legally asked Libby if he was the source for Novak, with the knowledge that he was not. This activity is known as prosecutorial misconduct. Get a brain.

At least Armitage as ashamed of what he did but Fitzgerald should be more ashamed for wasting 3 years and millions of dollars when he knew the truth within weeks of the start of the investigation and order Armitage to keep quiet. THAT%u2019S THE CRIME. Blumenthal should be ashamed for convicting Karl Rove in the court of public opinion and the media should be ashamed for being, once again, the liberal left's lap dogs, instead of doing what they are supposed to do. Follow the facts and uncover the truth. Not take sides and run with innuendo.

Obviously the person who posted the comment referring to Ken Starr has a short memory as well. Every time ken starr requested documents the Clintons delayed, in hopes to cause enough delays that his appointment would run out. Also there was somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 indictments handed down. And if you are truly so intellectually inept that you believe the Clintons were innocent, then I have a bridge for sale.

President Bush should pardon Sen. Charlie Schumer. He was the leader in special prosecutor requirement.
Since Schumer will not apologise that he knew the Armitage connection. He could be indicted for obstruction of justice. A pardon would avoid further litigation.

[pwrslm]

The Special Investigator knew of this and still failed to conclude the investigation. Isnt that a crime? Like withholding evidence in a capital case?

Then they investigate members of the White House, with full knowledge of how the leak occured, slandering and ruining carreers of how many people?

That is a crime.

Investigating Clinton wasnt.

[murthacoward]

Armitage is a horrible human. He let his President and administration suffer all kinds of slurs and injustices and just sat there silent. Now, when he's caught, he's sorry! And what about Chucky Schumer; talk about a pathological liar. Does no one remember him frog marching arm-in-arm with Joe Wilson to numerous Press Conferences to slander the President and Karl Rove. The "Main Stream Media"; what an inept and scurrilous bunch they are.
