1 plame was not covert, had not been for 5 years
2. plames and wilsons wedding in 1998 was VERY PUBLIC
3. wilson lied
No, they won't bother to tell the truth. They'll just repeat what they want to believe is the truth. Maybe if they repeat it often enough they may actually believe it to be true.
I believe I will need a link proving that Plame was covert at the time Armitage told the goodies about her. I think I remember the opposite but then I don't study liberal sites to get your news.
Wow, they got them for forgetting they talked with a particular person? Damn, maybe I should go to jail. What were you doing and who did you talk to in the afternoon of August 28, 2007? If you answer falsely and we find out then you go to jail. Great gig.

Cooper testified that Rove did speak to him and now Luskin knew it as well. Do you remember that Rove went before the grand jury 5 times? The reason was he had to explain away the reason he said he never talked to Cooper. Had Luskin never talked to his friend Novak, Rove more that likely would have been charged with lying as well.
Now Libby spoke to NY times reporter Judy Miller about Plame, but her editor wouldn't let her publish a single source story because of the Jason Blaine scandal at the paper. Had he let her publish it would have been her story that was published first. But as I said it didn't matter who was first third or last, Fitzgeralds mission was to investigate ALL of the leaks and determine why they were done. Here is what Fitzgerald said the day Libby was indicted:
It may be frustrating when investigations are conducted in secret. When investigations use grand juries, it's important that the information be closely held.
So let me tell you a little bit about how an investigation works.
Investigators do not set out to investigate the statute, they set out to gather the facts.
It's critical that when an investigation is conducted by prosecutors, agents and a grand jury they learn who, what, when, where and why. And then they decide, based upon accurate facts, whether a crime has been committed, who has committed the crime, whether you can prove the crime and whether the crime should be charged.
Agent Eckenrode doesn't send people out when $1 million is missing from a bank and tell them, "Just come back if you find wire fraud." If the agent finds embezzlement, they follow through on that.
FITZGERALD: That's the way this investigation was conducted. It was known that a CIA officer's identity was blown, it was known that there was a leak. We needed to figure out how that happened, who did it, why, whether a crime was committed, whether we could prove it, whether we should prove it.
And given that national security was at stake, it was especially important that we find out accurate facts.

Dave,
It's good lesson to learn, if the FBI asks you a question and you make up an answer, they will nail you arse to the wall. If don't know, that what you say.
Scooter Libby made up a story about the late Tim Russert which was proven to be false, so Fitzgerald was named as a special prosecutor.
