Why The Second Grand Jury?


It is curious to me that more has not been made by the media and by Democrats, of the decision by the Special Counsel in the leak investigation, Patrick Fitzgerald, to convene a second Grand Jury in the probe. This seems to me to be a rather large step. Is it possible that , as the prosecutor has accumulated testimony, witnesses, evidence and other data, he is beginning to see that the "hit" on Ambassador Joe Wilson as much broader and more deliberate death squad-type mission than a few casual bits of leaked gossip by Mr. Libby. Since Mr. Fitzgerald has now exposed the involvement of Vice-President Dick Cheney and Karl Rove, as well as Libby -- and possibly the current National Security Advisor, Stephen Hadley -- in this affair, is it possible that he thinks the trail will ultimately now lead back to Donald Rumsfeld, Condi Rice and the big enchilada himself, George Bush? Just a thought....
