Richard Armitage has finally emerged from the cover-my-backside closet, "apologizing" on CBS for keeping quiet for almost three years about being the original source for Robert Novak's July 14, 2003, column stating that Joe Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, worked for the CIA and had suggested him for a mission to Niger. He disingenuously blames his silence on Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald's non-legally-based request--any witness is free to talk about his testimony--not to discuss the matter. Put aside hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer funds squandered on the investigation, New York Times reporter Judith Miller's 85 days in jail, the angst and legal fees of scores of witnesses, the White House held siege to a criminal investigation while fighting the war on terror, Karl Rove's reputation maligned, and "Scooter" Libby's resignation and indictment. By his silence, Mr. Armitage is responsible for one of the most factually distorted investigations in history.

Did Mr. Fitzgerald subpoena Ms. Plame? He could have asked her why, if she were truly covert, was she attending an Eastern Shore meeting in May 2003 with Democratic senators. Pretty much explains the whole mess.

Certainly Powell's clear motive is on view for all to see.
He was against the war and was happy to see the administration under a cloud while fighting the war.
His interjecting himself into the prisoner at Gitmo matter is proof positive that he has no interest in protecting America.

I read 20 million somewhere, but 20 or 30 million, it's taxpayers money he's squandered and he should be called on it!

They need not admit they erred, because they won.

The Democrats' case against Bush is a House of Cards that
collapses every time there is a careful examination of the facts.
