It was Fitzgeralds' and the CIA's Director opinion. Fitzgerald had to prove
it. ... that was the problem. He didn't prove it. All he did was find
Libby guilty of purgery and obstruction of justice. He know who the leaker
was before the trial. He didn't prove it .... until he proves it, it
remains his opinion.

As a result of that investigation no one was charged with leaking Ms Plame's
name. Libby was found to have purgered himself and obstructed justice.

Fitzgerald knew before the trial started who the real leaker was ... R
Armitage of the State Dept.
From Aspen we get this report of a talk by Karl Rove and a comment from the
audience by former Secretary of State Powell:
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell stood up in the audience during the
question-and-answer period to say that it was his deputy secretary of state,
Richard Armitage, who sparked the CIA leak case. Powell said that Armitage
responded to a question by Novak about Wilson, saying "I think she works for
the CIA..."
Powell said that Armitage later called him and told him he had been the
one who had talked to Novak about Wilson. Powell and Armitage then met with
the FBI on the matter.
"The FBI knew on day one of Mr. Armitage's involvement," Powell said.
And so did Patrick Fitzgerald, Powell said. Fitzgerald was the special
counsel brought in to find out if someone had maliciously exposed Ms.
Wilson's undercover identity with the CIA, where she was known as Valerie
Plame.
"If everybody who had any contact with a reporter during that period, had
done what Armitage had done, I think this would have ended early on and not
dragged out the way it has dragged out," Powell said, adding that he knew
early on that no crime had been committed in the incident. "Mr. Libby got in
trouble for an entirely different set of reasons and circumstances."
