The journalist must have just made a lucky guess.  No source or anything....


And, Richyo, No one screaming for LBJ's head?  I figure you mean just because he was making money.  I mean, he did decide to not run for a second term for some reason.

It was Robert Novak. He was interviewing Plames husband who is protected by the spouse exception and whether intentional or not let it slip. Whether Libby also let it slip was never established but he was the fall guy after he made a mental slip in testimony. You dont have to lie under oath to be found guilty of perjury anymore you just need to make a mental slip. Libby was conflicted with what he knew he could say and what he knew and so he was crucified for a mis-statement. Novak somehow got a pass and I still dont understand that but it was he that wrote about Plames identity.

Plame was a 'disposible asset' anyway and she never had the natural resources to be more then a message courier but as a covert opperative her identity should have been kept secret. She is well suited for the search for 'victim compensation' that has become popular in our courts.

Somehow this part of Wilsons interview received more attention then the fact that he claimed to routinely take SR71 flights.

Time Magazine emails turned over to a grand jury show Rove leaked CIA Operative Valerie Plame’s name to journalists after her husband, Ambassador Joseph Wilson, went public with claims the Bush Administration knowing used false information to justify the invasion of Iraq. Plame, until the disclosure, worked as a covert operative for the intelligence agency.

it was a whole big mess but Rove was involved and proved to be involved and it was covered up, its long been done and over with and nothing can be done by anyone so I was just mentioning it, i dunno why you'd defend the guy

I dont believe thats accurate. Rove was a political advisor and not a member of the intelligence community. He had no way of knowing unless her husband also revealed this to Rove and I doubt he would be disclosing secrets to a conservative. This was just a ploy to bring down Rove by linking him to a controversy that was getting attention.
