John Dean to Patrick Fitzgerald

Co-blogger on Scatablog, Marketingace in PA, alerted me to the following open letter John Dean sent to Patrick Fitzgerald following the Woodward revelations. In it, Dean suggests that Fitzgerald should be more aggressive in his pursuit of the leakers and should even take some active steps to have them removed from office prior to trial. In small part, it reads:

In light of your broad powers, the limits and narrow focus of your investigation are surprising... To be a bit more blunt, in historical context, it is certainly less vigorous an investigation than those of your predecessors who have served as special counsel -- men appointed to undertake sensitive high-level investigations when the Attorney General of the United States had a conflict of interest.

It's quite interesting, so you may wish to read the whole thing.
