Is it Patrick Fitzgerald or Gerald Fitzpatrick?


It started out as investigation as to who leaked the name of Valerie Plame to Robert Novak.


And two years later we don't know.


There's a lot of stuff we don't know. A investigation that wound up asking more questions that supplying answers.


First, I want to be consistent: You can't lie on a material matter to the FBI or to a grand jury. Martha Stewart, I believed, was properly tried and convicted.


Who was the first person in the government to make a disclosure outside of the government on Plame?


Was Plame actually covered by the identity disclosure law?


I think it will be another Oliver North-style inquisition -- turning the tables on the prosecutors -- if it goes to trial.
