"He's going to save America," Hersh predicted, on the phone from his home in Washington, just days before Fitzgerald announced indictments against I. Lewis (Scooter) Libby, U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, on Friday.Mr. Hersh is no cockeyed optimist--unlike your humble blogger who finds such accusations a badge of honor in such dire times--and for him to be this upbeat tells me that he knows something we don't and that something is very, very bad news for Chimpie and the Chimpettes.
"Because it's not just about Wilson," maintained Hersh, who, as a New York Times reporter in the late 1960s, first blew the lid off the My Lai massacre in Vietnam and, more recently, exposed abuses at Abu Ghraib, the prison west of Baghdad where U.S. forces engaged in torture and humiliation of prisoners. He appears in Toronto tomorrow to speak to the group Canadian Journalists for Free Expression.
"Fitzgerald's going deep. He may just unravel the whole conspiracy," continues Hersh, who might be proven right. While Libby resigned after being indicted for perjury, obstruction of justice and making false statements, Fitzgerald continues to investigate Karl Rove, President George W. Bush's influential deputy chief of staff.

Hersh does seem to know shit that nobody else knows. So I'll go with 'Olaf the Optimist' on this too. Don't you just love how the Senate chamber 'dimmed' (as if it could get much dimmer) to shine some light on this subject?
It looks like a multipronged dig into the ass of the Chimpie administration--Fitzgerald, the Senate committee on intelligence, the MSM finally getting off their knees for a moment to look around and realize they've been sucking the dicks of the corrupt LOSERS in this long battle for power, which makes the press seem even more pathetic...except for Hersh and others of his ilk.
