White House in a tangled web

[dogday]

<snip>
Mr Rove now has something in common with Osama bin Laden. He is being investigated by the same zealous prosecutor.

Patrick Fitzgerald, a Chicago-based US attorney who played rugby in his younger days, doesn't seem to care that he has alienated the nation's media, nor that he threatens the heart of the Bush White House.

The son of Irish immigrants, Mr Fitzgerald took a job as a doorman and worked his way through Harvard law school and into a spectacular career as a prosecutor.

He convicted Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman for the 1993 World Trade Centre bombing and four defendants for the Tanzanian and Kenyan embassy bombings, while he also indicted bin Laden. He even extracted a guilty plea from Mafia figure John Gambino

1. How could he have prosecuted Rahman or....

...the others for those embassy bombings??? Clinton didn't do anything about those attacks! :sarcasm:

2. I've read a lot of background info on Fitz, and it was all good.

Agreed, some Pubs and some MSM's are now accusing him of being an overzealous prosecutor, but it's sure not all Pubs and not all the nedia either. He's also credited to bringing down the Gov. Ryan. He seems to me to be very intent on thoroughly investigating his current case, and WINNING!

3. He is a good prosecutor

I don't know what his partisanship is but that should not matter. He should do his job regardless and that is what this determined prosecutor is going to do... I personally think he is doing a great job....
