[Rhodes22-list] USAttorneygate; the chickens come home to roost

[Bill Effros]

Ben,

How do you think Obama will handle Federal Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald 
(also on the Bush "to be fired" list -- special prosecutor in the 
Valerie Plame CIA leak case) who is currently investigating Barack Obama?

Do you think it is is OK for Obama to fire Fitzgerald?
