We often presume bias based upon the MSM's sloppy journalism. Given the news items around the Fitzgerald prosecution of Scooter Libby, one might assume some bias on the media's part. But when Fitzgerald himself begins making noteworthy mistakes involving key sentences of filings which cast erroneous aspersion on the President, perhaps it's time to start treating this as the politically motivated prosecution it has apparently become.
First: Patrick Fitzgerald has corrected one of the incendiary allegations about the Bush Administration -- namely, that Lewis Libby was instructed to misstate information contained in a National Intelligence Estimate about Iraq and uranium.

Seriously, read the fine points, too. If this was perhaps an unconsciously motivated error displaying a certain bias, then Fitzgerald's simple incompetence is enough to begin making the case for his removal. He is dealing with the prosecution of someone at the highest levels of government. If he can't get it right, he isn't the man for the job. Particularly when his mistakes prove so costly to the nation's political discourse.
