Fitgerald wasted millions on the Plame investigation and the Libby trial. He would not get my vote for most effective US Attorney.

I don't mean to be rude, but are you kidding with this?
A) Legal hatchetmen, not political hatchetmen. And removing people for not pursuing unsubstantiated claims of election fraud (Iglesies with evidentiary problems)? Aside from being absurd, this doesn't square with you other point. Speaking of which,
B) Pat Fitzgerald was APPOINTED as independent counsel. He didn't go out and seek that case. He followed the evidence, and apparently made a decent case that Scooter Libby perjured himself - which, in fact, is a crime. Period. In terms of his production before his was assigned to that case, he was extremely effective.
It really seems as though you have made your mind up about this and are cherry picking arguments to support pre-formed conclusions.
