How in the heck is he supposed to know that Armitage was gossipping to the press? Do you think the President should have people shadowing people from his administration to make sure they don't say anything?

The blame for this belongs to Armitage, Powell, and Fitzgerald.

And Acting AG Comey that appointed Fitz, after the Justice Department KNEW that Armitage was the "leaker".

This is the part that ticks me off about Fritz. He knew at that press confereence that Libby was not the one.

Mr. Fitzgerald has nonetheless also tried to spin an aura that Mr. Libby was responsible for outing Ms. Plame. In his press conference on October 28, 2005, the prosecutor asserted that "In fact, Mr. Libby was the first official known to have told a reporter when he talked to [former New York Times reporter] Judith Miller in June of 2003 about Valerie Wilson." But we have since learned that Mr. Armitage also told Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward about Ms. Plame--a fact that Mr. Fitzgerald never uncovered until Mr. Woodward came forward after he heard Mr. Fitzgerald make that false public assertion.
