There have been 42 posts in this thread, and not ONE of them mentions that Richard Armitage, the #2 in the State Dept under Colin Powell, first put Plame's name into the press, NOT Libby, and Fitzgerald knew this back in 2003. Libby has been convicted of lying to the Grand Jury, but it's hard to understand what his motive would have been.
(The same State dept that has actively fought the administration for the whole 6 years, as they will be there long after Bush is gone)
