15. That's not what I'm talking about.
And let me say for the record that I despise the term "Fitzmas" because I think it trivializes and politicizes an extremely important event to an unacceptable extent. There were a great many people here who were convinced that:

a) Fitzgerald might charge Rove/Cheney/Others with treason. I repeatedly explained to people why the treason statute isn't relevant in this case, but they were having none of it, and I was shouted down as being a freeper. I don't see any treason indictments forthcoming.

b) Fitzgerald was going to charge the whole damn crew with something.

I bring this up because, as I said at the beginning, I think it trivializes the investigation and attempts to make it play out like a made-for-TV movie where the bad guys get dragged away in handcuffs at the same time in the last reel. That's not how it works. That's not how it's ever going to work. And pretending that it does work that way is counterproductive. I've stopped reading most of those threads (and those of their ilk) as they now do nothing but give me a severe headache.
