Bill;
I have been trying to come up with "Mr Fitzgeralds web site" by following
links to "operation board games". I have found a an official web site about
the Plame Case and Mr Libby, but I can find no web site maintained by
Patrick Fitzgerald dealing with Rezko or Obama. Can you steer me to it?
Much obliged.
As I said before I would be very surprised to find any official web site
dealing with an ongoing matter. But I could be wrong.
thanks,
Ben C.
