Apparently Frank Rich suggested on Meet the Press today that the case might go in that direction. Ain’

t gonna happen. Surely if Fitzgerald were moving that way, he would have asked for authority to do so,

and would have added that request and the response to it to his webpage.

There is an explanation for why Fitzgerald’s existing authority covers the Niger forgeries, which

Kleiman and Walker miss, which is explained in Justin Raimondo’s column today:

Everyone assumes Libby and his co-conspirators were really after Wilson, but this now seems

unwarranted, espeNIKE SHOXlly in light of Fitzgerald’s reported focus on the Niger uranium forgeries.

If this question of the forgeries is now within Fitzgerald’s purview, it opens up the possibility that

the conspirators really were after Plame on her own account. If Plame and her assoNIKE SHOXtes were hot

on the trail of whoever forged the Niger uranium documents, by neutralizing Brewster Jennings &

AssoNIKE SHOXtes the Libby cabal closed one possible route to uncovering their schemes – and opened up

another one.
