The entire Fitzgerald sentencing memorandum is worth reading, but this sentence stuck out:

=== First, it was clear from very early in the investigation that Ms. Wilson qualified under the

relevant statute (Title 50, United States Code, Section 421) as a covert agent whose identity

had been disclosed by public officials, including Mr. Libby, to the press. ===

along with this one

=== Second, it is undisputed but of no moment that it was known early in the investigation

that two other persons (Richard Armitage and Karl Rove) in addition to Mr. Libby had

disclosed Ms. Wilson’s identity to reporters, and that Messrs. Armitage and Rove were the

sources for columnist Robert Novak’s July 14, 2003 column, which first publicly disclosed

Ms. Wilson’s CIA affiliation. The investigation was never limited to disclosure of Ms.

Wilson’s CIA affiliation to Mr. Novak; rather, from the outset the investigation sought to determine who disclosed information about Ms. Wilson to various reporters, including – but

not limited to – Mr. Novak. ===

Could we have another one of those 287 post discussions with input from certain parties who used to contribute here regularly on how there was "no crime", "Plame was not covert", and "Novak was the end of the investigation"? Or is the argument that Fitzgerald, with a security clearance and access to all the information from all parties including the CIA, was wrong about this?

Hey, that's it: Fitzgerald needs to be prosecuted for perjury as a result of this sentencing memorandum! That's the ticket.
