Now, Bob Woodward, Mr. Watergate himself, has testified that he was told about Plame well before Scooter Libby told Judith Miller whatever he told her. (Remember, we still haven't learned who told the only reporter that published the information, Bob Novak. Curious omission, wouldn't you say?) And Woodward continued, saying that his source not only told him that Plame was a former CIA analyst, but that he didn't think the information was classified or secret.
So, while Mr. Fitzgerald hammers away at Scooter, saying that he was the first administration official to leak Plame's identity (somewhat odd, since he chose not to charge Libby with that act) now we find out that another reporter was very familiar with Plame's assignments well before Libby talked to Judith Miller, lending credence to the defense's argument that Plame's role in the CIA was well known among Washington insiders.
Could this be the insidious hand of Karl Rove, once again manipulating liberal Democrat politicians into making asses of themselves?
Or is it that they are quite capable of performing the job all by themselves?
