A reporter who publicly claimed to know the details of Plame way back in 2003. Yes, it is a major blunder if he failed to vet her. In fact, unless this story is a total fabrication, I say Fitz loses this case because of it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- On Oct. 3, 2003, MITCHELL was a guest on CNBC's now-defunct "Capital Report," where she was asked by host Alan Murray: "Do we have any idea how widely known it was in Washington that Joe Wilson's wife worked for the CIA?" MITCHELL replied: "It was widely known among those of us who cover the intelligence community and who were actively engaged in trying to track down who among the foreign service community was the envoy to Niger. So a number of us began to pick up on that." MITCHELL's "widely known" characterization flatly contradicts assertions last Friday by Leakgate Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, who repeatedly insisted that Plame's association with the CIA "was not widely known."
