Fitzman Pow! Kaboom!
I suppose I'll push out an opinion on Patrick "Bulldog" Fitzgerald since the "left" writes as if he's a superhero – as usual I'm scratching my head over why. Fitz is said to be many wonderful things : relentless, honest, tough but fair, a steely-eyed sleuth, workoholic, nonpartisan, a tenacious enforcer of the law, extraordinarily well-respected, a straight shooter. Fitzman is seen as incorruptible; and he presses his own tights and cape.
All that because he prosecuted a couple or three Gambino soldiers and although some sites claim he won a conviction against John Gambino, truth is John caught a hung jury and then made a deal with the prosecutor; the capo should be out in a few. Fitzman convicted the Sheik and his gang in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, but kinda like anyone could have won that one.
Fitzman convicted 4 nobodies we ever heard of in the Kenya and Tanzania embassy bombings (where nearly all the casualties were Black African, not the blue-eyed devils Al-queda seeks to destroy - go figure). And last but not least on his list of oft repeated accomplishments : he got an indictment against Osama bin Laden (still at large)! Now that's a ham sandwich - holy felony Fitzman!
Fitzman's activity brought to mind a term we used years ago and Aretha sang it : who's zoomin who baby, as in hustling, hustler, hustle.

Indeed, my left brain has been reminding my right brain, "You don't believe in heroes, cool it!" Fitz is only human and is doing all this for his own reasons. Since the process and hopefully the results coincide with our wishes, we don't need to know his secrets (not that we aren't curious, of course). The tight lid on two years of investigation has been leaking puffs of steam lately, and one wonders if this is part of the political process: to keep the public interested, apply pressure where needed, catch the wandering eyes of the MSM, etc. But what the heck, it's all fun, and incidentally, may be some American justice in action.
I suppose if it's fun.... But seems it lulls we the public/people into letting the government take care of things rather than we the people making serious demands for change.
I'm not expecting any more justice from this sideshow than I did Watergate or Contragate or Monicagate. But that's just my opinion.
