    • The Stupidest Trolls on the Internets

      Posted by Billbar from atrios.blogspot.com

      ... it isn't especially interesting, it doesn't change the basic narrative at all - Armitage was widely suspected of being that person - and it doesn't magically nullify every other factual revelation about the case, including that Karl Rove was Matt Cooper's source on Plame.

      State Department official source of Plame leak

      Posted by Billbar from CNN

      Former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage was the source who revealed the identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame to syndicated columnist Robert Novak in 2003, touching off a federal investigation, two sources familiar with Armitage's role tell CNN. The sources said Armitage revealed Plame's role at the CIA almost inadvertently in a casual conversation with Novak, and it is not clear if he knew her identity was classified at the time.

    • Jason Leopold: Robert Novak and the Perfect Stranger

      Posted by Billbar from Truth Out

      In an effort to fill in some gaps in the narrative of the three-year-old CIA leak case, Truthout has tracked down the person who may help provide some clues and help answer that question: the "stranger" who was told by Novak on July 8, 2003, that Valerie Plame worked for the CIA - six days before Novak's infamous column that unmasked Plame was published. When Novak launched into his attack on Wilson and disclosed the ambassador's wife's employment with the CIA, the man was left somewhat speechless, he said. "At that point we came to another corner and parted ways," the man said.

      Richard Armitage's Role in Plame Case

      Posted by Billbar from MSNBC

      Details from the new book, "Hubris: The Inside Story of Spin, Scandal, and the Selling of the Iraq War." Armitage, a well-known gossip who loves to dish and receive juicy tidbits about Washington characters, apparently hadn't thought through the possible implications of telling Novak about Plame's identity. "I'm afraid I may be the guy that caused this whole thing," he later told Carl Ford Jr., State's intelligence chief.

    • Plame lawyer plans to force Cheney, Rove testimony

      Posted by Billbar from AlertNet

      California attorney Joseph Cotchett plans to use a legal precedent that allowed President Bill Clinton to be sued while in office to force Vice President Dick Cheney and presidential adviser Karl Rove to testify in a lawsuit brought by former CIA operative Valerie Plame and her husband.

    If this is true, it's an important piece of the puzzle. -- And that Novak has been lying.

    Plame sues Cheney, Rove, Libby

    Joseph Wilson made it clear a while ago that they would be doing this. I'm glad to see it happen, though.
