Remember Valerie Plame?

Blogs for Bush

Just to jog the memory; she was the CIA agent "outed" by Robert Novack after her husband made a complete ass out of himself regarding Saddam's attempts to gain nuclear material in Africa. It is a long and rather boring tale of political gamesmanship but the crux of the matter was that the liberal/left in the United States was absolutely convinced that there was a nefarious plot afoot.

Ms. Plame's outing, in the fevered imagination of the left, was a direct result of an attempt by President Bush and his henchmen to destroy her and her husband because of the "exposure" of President Bush's "lies" about Saddam's attempts at nuclear bargain-basement shopping. I remember when this first hit; liberal and left people were dead certain that this was worse than Watergate and was sure to bring down the President. Well, it turns out its not quite like that (from Best of the Web Today):

<<<

"The nation's largest news organizations and journalism groups" filed a brief in federal court Wednesday...

...The 40-page brief, filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, argues that there is "ample evidence . . . to doubt that a crime has been committed" in the case, which centers on the question of whether Bush administration officials knowingly revealed the identity of undercover CIA operative Valerie Plame in the summer of 2003. (emphasis added)

The election is over and now the anti-Bush MSM is just tidying things up a bit; while there was a chance to beat President Bush on the issue, the MSM kept it alive, darkly hinting at the horrible nature of the accusations; now that there's no more to be gained, its time to drop it and point out what we on the right said all along...there was no crime committed.
