Note that finally, after three long years of smears & sneers, lies & slanders, the WaPo is just now getting it. And you can bet the farm on this; They won't be spending the next three years with breathless, almost daily front page headlines going on & on about the horrific journalistic malpractice & left wing bias from the MSM that caused them to be so blind to the facts for so fricking long. The Washington Post gets it Betsy's Page The Post opines on the news that Richard Armitage was the source of the leak on Valerie Plame and concludes, <<< Nevertheless, it now appears that the person most responsible for the end of Ms. Plame's CIA career is Mr. Wilson. Mr. Wilson chose to go public with an explosive charge, claiming -- falsely, as it turned out -- that he had debunked reports of Iraqi uranium-shopping in Niger and that his report had circulated to senior administration officials. He ought to have expected that both those officials and journalists such as Mr. Novak would ask why a retired ambassador would have been sent on such a mission and that the answer would point to his wife. He diverted responsibility from himself and his false charges by claiming that President Bush's closest aides had engaged in an illegal conspiracy. It's unfortunate that so many people took him seriously. >>> Yes, including all those in the media who went crazy on this story and have consistently mischaracterized it and neglected to point out that Wilson's claims were indeed false and that he knew it. I still can't get over the sliminess of Armitage sitting back all this time knowing that he was the source of the leak and just watching passively while the White House took all the heat for leaking the story. He saw people having their reputations shredded and knew that he was the one. And Colin Powell knew it all also. They were content to let suspicion fall on those they didn't like in the White House when they could have come forward right from the beginning. There is something so low about such behavior. I know that I'll think of this every time I see Powell and I hope that someone will ask John McCain if he really thinks that Armitage has the moral characteristics that McCain wants in an adviser. betsyspage.blogspot.com washingtonpost.com
