Here's the transcript of Woodward's June 2003 conversation with Richard Armitage Woodward: Well it was Joe Wilson who was sent by the agency, isn’t it? Armitage: His wife works for the agency. Woodward: Why doesn’t that come out? Why does that have to be a big secret? Armitage: (over) Everybody knows it. Woodward: Everyone knows? Armitage: Yeah. And they know ’cause Joe Wilson’s been calling everybody. He’s pissed off ’cause he was designated as a low level guy went out to look at it. So he’s all pissed off. Woodward: But why would they send him? Armitage: Because his wife’s an analyst at the agency. Woodward: It’s still weird. Armitage: He – he’s perfect. She – she, this is what she does. She’s a WMD analyst out there. Woodward: Oh, she is. Armitage: (over) Yeah. Woodward: Oh, I see. I didn’t think… Armitage: (over) "I know who’ll look at it." Yeah, see? Woodward: Oh. She’s the chief WMD…? Armitage: No. She’s not the… Woodward: But high enough up that she could say, "oh, yeah, hubby will go." Armitage: Yeah. She knows [garbled]. Woodward: Was she out there with him, when he was…? Armitage: (over) No, not to my knowledge. I don’t know if she was out there. But his wife’s in the agency as a WMD analyst. How about that? http://www.sweetness-light.com/archive/hear-armitage-tell-woodward-about-valerie-plame So Armitage knew he could talk about Valerie Plame, because "everyone knows" And how did everyone know? Because her big-mouth husband was calling them! And this was a month before Joe Wilson's op-ed or Bob Novak's column! This interview is absolutely part of the public record! And the MSM still reports Valerie Plames ludicrous stories about the Bush administration "blowing her cover" with a straight face! But I know, I'm just imagining that there is a media bias to the left.
