Irving vs Fitz
Who's (Gonna Be) Sorry Now? Will someone sleep with the fishes on this one? BTW, we believe that's what really happened to the Butcher of the Balkans (Yahoo here). Natural causes? Nah. The guy was offed.
This is a game of chicken...or chess...whichever you like. Push it to the brink and see who breaks. It will come down to nailbiting in the end. We stand by our serious assertion that the Cheney shooting was a signal to Irving to shut the f&$k up about "my superiors told me to do it." and we're only half-kidding about this. (here)
Irving, the kiddie-porn writer-neocon-con-artist's strategy is to game the system..i.e. tie the system up in knots: "The fight over the classified material has delayed the Libby proceedings and prompted prosecutor Fitzgerald to charge that Libby's defense team is requesting unobtainable documents in an effort to derail the trial." (WaPo here)
Fitz's strategy is tough and slow and steady: "After initial success in drug trafficking cases, the assistant U.S. attorney scored his biggest victory yet in 1993 when he and another lawyer successfully prosecuted organized crime boss John Gambino. In December 1995, Fitzgerald became co-chief of his office's Organized Crime-Terrorism Unit, signaling his expertise on national security issues. Those convicted under Fitzgerald's watch include Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, found guilty for his role in the 1993 World Trade Center blast. "(CNN here) We make book on Fitz.
