Special Prosecutor

Ashcroft is appointing one in the Plame case.

Anyway, there's no way the investigators in this case, if they've been trying, don't know who the culprit(s) is/are. If they've questioned all top administration officials then whoever told the press would've told them. Whether they have enough evidence to prove it is another question.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Attorney General John Ashcroft will recuse himself from an investigation into who leaked the name of a CIA operative, Justice Department sources said Tuesday.

The investigation will be headed by the U.S. attorney in Chicago, Patrick Fitzgerald, who will report to Ashcroft's new deputy, James Comey, the officials said.

It was not immediately clear why Ashcroft made the decision.


Silly Ashcroft. Doesn't he know this whole thing is, in the words of one esteemed professor of law, "Bogus."

UPDATE: The Special Prosecutor has already issued his report - and the culprit is... Bill Clinton!
