Ashcroft steps aside, and Sen. Schumer is happy

So Ashcroft stepped aside from the probe into who leaked clandistine CIA operative Valerie Plamme's name to the press
(article here). Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY), who led the call for a prosecuter, says he's happy with the naming of a US Atorney (in Chicago) to lead the investigation.

Someone leaked this information, and there's no doubt the leak was illegal. All that remains now is to figure out who did it.
