Typical
The White House, in a case of petty, childish revenge, breaks the law, compromises national security, puts people's lives in danger, then blames the Democrats. Maybe they should just abandon all pretense and have WH spokeshamster Scott McClellan start off every press briefing with "...Bill Clinton's penis..."


Second spitter
Larry Johnson, a former CIA analyst who worked with Ms Plame all but identified Scooter Libby as the government official who outed her - and at least one other in the Vice President's office. Scooter is the center of the neocon network in Washington, Dick 'Chicanery' Cheney's chief of staff, and assistant to the pResident, whose office is the operational nerve center of the War Party. It is Libby and Cheney who made repeated trips to the CIA, pressuring them to accept tall tales of Al Qaeda connections and assorted 'weapons of mass destruction' supposedly lurking in Baghdad. - - from Antiwar.com.


Proof Boob Novak is lying to cover for his buddies in the WH
Howard Kurtz, in his Post vanity column, actually had some breaking news: 'Now it turns out that Time.com published the same leak around the same time as the Novak column. Some government officials have noted to Time in interviews, (as well as to syndicated columnist Robert Novak) that Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, is a CIA official who monitors the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction...' This seems proof positive that Novak didn't, as he now seems to be lamely claiming, simply stumble across the information while talking to senior administration officials in preparing a Wilson story. This looks more like, as reported in the Post over the weekend, media contact across the board. Of course, I have no idea who outed Plame, but rumors are evidently swirling that reporters who received calls are claiming privately that Karl Rove was involved. - - from TomDispatch.com.


Temper, temper, Turdblossom
James Moore, co-author of Bush's Brain writes: "Rove's temper has always been his weak spot. He cannot seem to control his anger. When Joseph Wilson wrote in the NY Times that there was no truth to the allegations that Iraq had tried to purchase yellowcake uranium from Niger, Rove is said to have gone 'ballistic.' No one who has known Rove for any period of time doubts that Rove was the one who orchestrated the leak, which 'outed' Ambassador Wilson's wife as a CIA agent. If, as many believe, he is responsible for the leak, Rove wanted to send a message to everyone in the intelligence community that they all needed to keep their mouths shut." - - BuzzFlash.
