EDITORIAL REVIEW

---

So what if Scooter Libby skated, and Obama picked someone else for AG? Fitzgerald will keep putting away bad guys like 2008’s bad boy, former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.



Fitzgerald fixed Scooter Libby's red wagon but good, convicting Libby on four charges of lying under oath about Valerie Plame.


He bagged Conrad Black and software/movie pirates, even if Plamegate has simmered down.


Hate him or love him, Patrick Fitzgerald is regarded as one the toughest and most effective federal prosecutors in the nation. He became a national figure in 2003, when the Justice Department appointed him to investigate the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's name to columnist Robert Novak. Fitzgerald's controversial pursuit of journalistic sources helped send New York Times reporter Judith Miller to prison for contempt of court. As an assistant U.S. attorney in New York, Fitzgerald won terrorism convictions in connection with the World Trade Center bombing in 1993 and the bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998. He became the U.S. attorney in Chicago in 2001, where he has overseen corruption cases against former Illinois Gov. George Ryan and aides to Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley.
