Senators want Libby prosecutor to testify
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Senate Judiciary Committee may seek testimony from controversial prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald about the obstruction of justice case against vice presidential aide Lewis "Scooter" Libby, two senators said on Sunday.
Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, the ranking Republican member of the committee, said he wanted to hear from Fitzgerald because, "I still haven't figured out what that case is all about."
Libby, the one-time top aide to Vice President Dick Cheney, was found guilty in March of obstructing an investigation into who blew the cover of a CIA analyst whose husband had criticized the Iraq war.

*In this case Specter may be right. Sure, let's bring Fitzgerald in and let him explain why he pursued this case when he knew from the beginning that Plame wasn't covert and that it was Armitage that leaked her name in the first place. Yeah, by all means Dems, let's get it on. As Rush so elequently puts it, "put a pile of excrement in front of a Democrat and he'll step in it."
