Fitzgerald '82 the center of attention

fitzgerald_10_05.jpgPatrick J. Fitzgerald ‘82, the special prosecutor in the Valeria Plame leak case, was at the center of attention in Washington yesterday as he announced his findings in an hour-long news conference. “We didn’t get the straight story,” the Times quotes Fitzgerald as saying, “and we had to - had to - take action.” The resulting indictment of I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, Vice-President Cheney’s Chief of Staff, does not, however, signal the end of the investigation, which Fitzgerald has indicated will continue.

Many of the articles profiling Fitzgerald mention his time at Amherst; one, from the Houston Chronicle, includes an interview with his classmate, Tony Bouza ‘82, who has been interviewed about Fitzgerald before.

See our previous coverage of Fitzgerald as the investigation proceeded.
