Novak Finally Talks On The Plame Controversy
Jay Tea from Wizbang has the details and this nice summary:
That all sounds about right for me. Read the whole thing.
The folks on the left have really got to be depressed. For about two years now the idea of Rove or even Cheney himself being frog-walked out of the White House for leaking the identity of super-spy (at least in their minds) Valerie Plame has danced in their dreams. Now it is becoming more and more clear that this whole Plame thing was a nothing.
Except of course that the Plame controversy was probably meant all along as a distraction from the lies Wilson told about his trip to Niger.
Regardless, I suspect that the liberal trolls here on Say Anything are going to be a bit down tonight. Like jumping-off-bridges depressed.
A) The Wilsons arranged for Joseph Wilson to take the trip to Africa on behalf of the CIA for their own reasons. Whether this was to jump-start his career or make a political attack against the Bush administration is unknown.
B) Wilson himself began politicizing his trip when he started lying about two things: who chose him to go, and what he found.
C) The exposing of Plame's employment at the CIA was a direct consequence of her and her husband's actions, intended to prove the lies Wilson was telling about who sent him and what he found.
D) Although he has not publicly stated so, the actions of Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald indicate that he does not believe that the publicity that Plame worked for the CIA violated any laws.
E) Scooter Libby is once again proof of the old adage that "it isn't the crime, but the coverup." If Libby had simply told the truth about telling the truth about Joe Wilson's lies, he most likely wouldn't be under indictment.
