Rove Aide Appears Before Fitz

[From the diaries by susanhu. This is a big catch by Emmajoe. Back in August, I wrote "Stakeout at the "CIA Leak" Grand Jury," in good part about Susan Ralston's history with Rove et al., and it was also true then that the Filipino press had the story long before it showed up in U.S. papers.]
I just caught this story from Philippine News Online:
Top Rove aide 'critical' in CIA probe, dated today.
Apparently because Susan Ralston is Filipino, the foreign news service likes to keep track of her.
There is no mention of when she is expected to meet with Fitzgerald, but it makes it clear to me that Fitz isn't done with Rove yet. ... More below:
Here is a snip from the article
WASHINGTON D.C. - Filipino American Susan Ralston, chief of-staff to presidential adviser Karl Rove, is one of nearly two dozen White House officials - including President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney - believed to have knowledge about the outing of Central Intelligence Agency operative agent Valerie Plame.
Ralston, Rove's right-hand man, is scheduled to appear again before Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald who is investigating the circumstances surrounding the leak of Plame's identity in the media.
Plame's work in the CIA was revealed after her husband Ambassador Joseph Wilson challenged President Bush's reasons for going to war in Iraq. Exposing an agent is a crime as it endangers the agent's life as well as the security of his or her family.
Ralston appears to be a person of critical interest in the investigation, just like her boss Rove.
