Plamegate Experts.....PLEASE HELP!!! I'm a little confused.......

Ok, I have a really dumb question and I should already know the answer but with everything I have read about the CIA leak story, I just don't totally get one thing....If Fitzgerald is the hardcore, straight up, by the book, by the rules, pay attention to details prosecutor that everyone says he is (and I am not trying to dispute that, I've read nothing to tell me otherwise), but my question is, How did he end up getting chosen to prosecute this case? I understand about Ashcroft being pressured to recuse himself and Fitzgerald subsequently being chosen to take over the case, but does anyone know how he was chosen? It just doesn't make any sense to me that the Bush Administration would allow something like this to happen. I know it wasn't really up to them but has that ever stopped them before??? Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, I'm eagerly awaiting Fitzmas just like I'm sure the rest of you are and nothing would satisfy my dark side more than watching every last one of these bastards get tarred and feathered, it's just that I worry about getting my hopes up too high, and Fitzgerald being too good to be true, and my gut instinct just tells me that the Busheviks we all know never would have allowed this to happen and that is what makes the whole thing hard to trust. I'm not saying what I think is right or wrong, God knows I hope I'm wrong and it isn't too good to be true, just looking for a little insight from others who have been following the story more closely and probably know more than I do. Thanks everyone and once again, sorry if this question seems like a dumb one, just want to know if maybe anyone else has been wondering the same thing, or even has an explanation.
