The White House didn't want to release information to bolster their claims that she was an expert on the constitution and other areas. This is not a surprise. Some people expected this to happen just before any announcements about the leak indictments. Also, according to Tim Russert, there were not 51 Senators who would vote for her nomination. Also, late word says that Rev. Dobson made it clear to the righties that he did not want to testify in front of the Senate committee and that pressure helped push her out. Who is running this administration?
Have you heard of Susan B. Ralston? She is an aid to Karl Rove and involved somehow in the leak scandal and the investigation of Jack Abramoff.

There have been no leaks from Fitzgerald and he has not had press conferences with the media. The Post has a great article about how people are coping while they wait for information.
