Patrick Fitzgerald investigated the circumstances surrounding the outing of one CIA agent. There is supposedly another investigation into the leaking of secret intelligence - that we had broken a crucial Iranian code - to a foreign power, Iran.
The Fitzgerald investigation is over. The other investigation has supposedly been ongoing for seventeen months. No grand jury has been convened in the matter. Federal prosecutors and the Justice Department have evinced little interest. It remains in the hands of the FBI. Yet, the effects of this second leak dwarf the outing of Valerie Plame. Is the lack of progress and interest due to the fact that Ahmad Chalabi is involved? He is accused of obtaining the leaked information and passing it to Iran, who were his allies in opposing Saddam.
He was the guy who told us of the existence of WMD and that we would be treated as liberators. He's also been convicted of embezzling $288 million from a bank he ran in Jordan.
He'll be meeting with Rice and Snow this week because he has somehow wormed his way back into power in Iraq.
