The Plame Game: Was Fitzgerald Thorough?
Newsmax raises the question on special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald's thoroughness in questioning witnesses in his investigation of "Plamegate":
Was the identity of Joseph Wilson's wife Valerie Plame really a deep dark secret before she was "outed" by columnist Robert Novak in July 2003?
The number of witnesses now saying "No" has climbed to four - and none of them have apparently been interviewed by Fitzgerald's investigators.
It may not seem like a big deal that only four people are saying nay--but if Fitzgerald is ignoring their potential testimony, why?
A lot of credence is being given to the two or so neighbors who say they didn't know about Plame's employment status. Be honest, though: how many of you know what all of your neighbors do? I myself am only friendly with a couple of my neighbors, and couldn't tell you what the rest of them did for a living if my life depended on it. Unlike times gone by, most Americans don't get to know their neighbors beyond the friendly wave as we drive by on our way elsewhere.
Just a little food for thought.

Fitzgerald's supposed to be a standup guy, but the more I find out about this complicated case, the less I think of the job he's done for the last two years or so.
