I can't remember when David Corn also learned that the person who had inadvertently released Valerie Plame's name was the #2 guy at State, Richard Armitage.
But he admitted that knowing who had released it didn't stop him from calling for the Bush Admnistration to admit that someone in the White House had released the information - a false smear and he knew it.
If Fitzgerald were a prosecutor with any integrity, he would start arresting people for "conspiracy" - meaning those who knew it wasn't someone IN the White House but who were yelling "fire fire" and pointing to the White House!!!
Isn't that punishable, somehow?
Libel and slander are. I know that - and David Corn, for one, has been guilty of both. What a slime.
And therein lies the real problem.
I will remain mystified until the end of my days, TruthNtegrity, why the Republicans didn't shout this and other key facts out from the floor of Congress. Too late now.
