Even an utter moron should understand that it's not an either/or finding. The fact that Cheney's smear information reached Armitage and he let it slip out doesn't mean that Rove, Libby, Fleischer and others didn't also "out" her. You can't "out" someone when most of Georgetown already knows who she is, dope. It's called "public knowledge.". May I remind you that when the op-ed first came out, Andrea Mitchel said - on TV - that Plame's employer was widely known in Washington? Is the ultra-liberal Andrea Mitchel now supposed to be part of Cheney's smear machine too? Joe Wilson lied and insinuated a number of untruths in his NYT op-ed. The VP's office tried to push back by telling reporters their side of the story: 1) he wasn't qualified 2) his wife sent him, not Cheney 3) he was mischaracterizing his findings 4) if he had found nothing, it would be no proof because he was unqualified. As it happened, all four points were perfectly true. What this trial has done is to make speaking to reporters a crime when done in the service of (Republican) polics.
