Dying Down Into Background Noise
I think Attorney General Alberto Gonzales did so well on the first day of the Senate's televised investigation/hearings into the NSA program of warrantless interception of communications between a foreign suspected al Qaeda operative and someone in the United States, that there was never a second day of such hearings. So much for the High Crime and Misdemeanor of trying hard to protect the nation for foreign attack.
Yesterday, 18 Democrat Representatives (that is, less than one in ten) asked someone in the White House to appoint a special counsel (like the special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald still looking into the Plame non-crime--yea, that was a sound expenditure of time and money) to investigate the non-crime of NSA intercepts of terrorists talking to someone in the U.S.A. The White House spokesman politely declined. 18 Democrat Representatives led by the less than household name Representative Zoe Lofgren (D-CA). Not exactly the groundswell towards impeachment early MSM reporting on the NSA non-scandal would have caused us to believe was coming.

Gee Rog, perhaps the Valerie Plame leak was a non crime. It was, at the very least, another example of the arrogance and pettiness that is a frequent hallmark of this administration. A non crime which has resulted in the indictment of the VP's chief of staff. Now there's something of which we can all be proud.
B/f you castigate Mr. FitzGerald, regarding a sound expediture of time and money, kindly remember the efforts of Mr. Starr in his investigation of the Whitewater non crime. Please recall the time and money expended.
Let he whose party is w/o sin cast the first stone.

If you view mentioning Plame as revenge for taking a position against the Presidents its petty, if it was, in order to counter the lies that Joe Wilson was telling, to explain how he got there, it's not petty or arrogant.
And I thought Starr was just as bad (although perjury is a real and serious crime) which is why we all let the special prosecutor law lapse (so how did we get Fitzgerald? Oh that's right it was in response to the near hysterics of the Democrats) Since I am without fault in this, I'm throwing stones at your party. Thanks for the comment.

R,
I may not have your command of the facts here. What lies was Mr. Wilson telling?
What was the truth about Saddam Hussein and purported overtures in Niger?
