Patrick Fitzgerald said that he wasn’t going to speak outside the “four corners” of the indictment, yet he did repeatedly. Isn’t it irresponsible for a prosecutor to say Libby compromised national security when he hasn’t charged him with that? Fitzgerald’s little speech on protecting the identities of CIA agents was ancillary BS to give his underwhelming findings a little gravitas. Either charge Libby with violating the Intelligence Identities Protection act, Mr. Fitzgerald, or shut up.
