Lame Attack on Fitzgerald Fizzles

In an article mistitled Analyzing Patrick Fitzgerald's Doublespeak Renew America columnist Chris Adamo attempts to attack the Special Prosecutor. Watch him boldly roll out the groundwork: After only a few weeks of investigation, the ostensible "outing" of Valerie Plame as a CIA agent was clearly established as a non-crime. Thereafter, the entire effort degenerated into a strategy of calling enough witnesses and asking enough questions to trip somebody... anybody. Strong stuff. Only problem is he made it up. Unsourced for a reason. Forging ahead... To begin with, Fitzgerald emphatically characterized Plame's status at the CIA as "classified," and then equated this to being "unknown." Certainly, the two terms carry vastly different connotations, and Fitzgerald well knows it. Thus his deliberate interweaving of the two concepts can only be construed as evidence of severe prejudice in the pursuit of this case. Semantic obfuscation - sure sign your argument is leaking oil. Fitzgerald was as clear as the proverbial bell at his press conference. Secondly, while stating on multiple occasions that no crime against any covert CIA agent had been committed or suggested, Fitzgerald simultaneously asserted that the indictments he handed down would prevent any recurrence of that very crime which had not been committed. Potentially devastating if anyone could understand WTF he's talking about. So far he's done a better job at revealing his own doublespeak than Fitzgerald's. The coup de grace? There isn't one. That's all he's got on Fitz. The remainder of the nine-hundred word article is spent spilling ink on Clinton, Wilson, and liberal spin. It's an entertaining read, a veritable satire of Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity.
