[The] official biography [of Patrick Fitzgerald ‘82] says he was named special counsel in December 2003 to investigate “the alleged disclosure of the identity of a purported employee of the Central Intelligence Agency.”
That bland description understates the drama and stakes of the investigation.
That’s how USA Today characterizes the current work of Fitzgerald, though apparently there’s little enough hard news from the investigation to fill their pages that they need to run a profile of Fitzgerald. We’ve linked some of his previous appearances, on NPR, PBS, and in the pages of the Baltimore Sun.
