In times of old, The Furies protected Mother Right. If a mother (or any woman) was harmed, The Furies swooped down and took their vengeance. They were one of the last vestiges of a world that existed before the patriarchy. When we feel righteous anger, it is The Furies who are calling out to us to make what is wrong right again.

Another View of Fitz 

According to Sheldon Drobny, co-founder of Air America and a prosecutor himself, Fitzgerald sold us out. He says he had to indict Libby; that was the LEAST he could do because Libby's crime was so obvious. Drobny writes, "The idea that Cheney, Libby, Rove and Bush did not talk to each other about the purpose of passing on this information to the press is simply not believable. And there were many ways that Fitzgerald could have proven the conspiracy in spite of Libby's lies. The fact that Libby lied would normally embolden a prosecutor to prove the underlying crime. This was not the case for Fitzgerald."

He says Fitz fumbled. I figured Rove just squirmed out of trouble as usual—he's been "playing" dirty tricks on the Dems since Watergate days and getting away with it. But maybe Drobny is right. Although I believe everyone deserves a good lawyer I don't believe lawyers should get guilty people off, and Rove's attorney is a liberal lawyer. I don't think he should have kept the smug little dropping out of jail; that's a betrayal of ethics, isn't it?

Kim, I'm inclined to believe our first impression of Patrick Fitzgerald as a for-real kind of guy.

I read this same column on commondreams.org (or was it truthout.org?) and it set me to thinking. But after letting it stew around in my head for awhile--and after having read a godzillion articles/columns/letters-to-the-editor about this subject, I'm of the opinion that Fitzgerald made the indictment he did because it was the only one he felt he could prove in court. It's one thing to KNOW they did it, and quite another to prove it.

But never fear, my kindred sister, this pandora's box has a lot more surprises in store for everyone. It will prove fascinating as the trial unfolds. Oh yes, you can fool some of the people all of the time; all of the people some of the time; but not all of the people all of the time. Their chickens are coming home to roost, says I with glee!
