SocraticGadfly: Why is Fitz still waiting?

Why is Fitz still waiting?

Oct. 19, the Washington Post said Plame leak special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald was not likely to take any action (as in, perhaps, issue indictments) until after this weekend.

What’s up?

Here’s my theory.

Do you suppose he's considering hauling somebody higher than Rove before the
grand jury? Wrestling over whether to indict Cheney himself or not?

Maybe that’s why Fitz supposedly is taking no action until next week? A
couple more grand jury visits for --- ?? Trying to decide just how high to
go with indictments, or the one person who “only” can get the unindicted
co-conspirator tag?
