Yesterday I read Robert Novak's piece on Richard Armitage leaking Joe Wilson's identity as an undercover CIA agent. This whole thing is preposterous. Richard Armitage said that it was a slip of the tongue in revealing Wilson's identity to Robert Novak. Novak said that Armitage was in effect lying. He called up Bob Novak and set up an appointment to talk with him. He had purpose in revealing Wilson's identity. Armitage also said that the special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald told him to be quiet about his leak yet there was a three month gap between when Armitage spoke with Novak and when the investigation began.
This whole this is a farce. Due to Armitage's silence people like Carl Rove and Scooter Libby were left to hang out to dry. This is all the more reason to not trust the Democrats , Richard Armitage, and Patrick Fitzgerald.
