Parse this instead, it's far more useful:

WASHINGTON - An unclassified summary of outed CIA officer Valerie
Plame's employment history at the spy agency, disclosed for the first
time today in a court filing by Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald,
indicates that Plame was "covert" when her name became public in July
2003.

Then why isn't Richard Armitage being charged with a crime?

He should be. We're just a little too busy with the troubles at hand.

LOL!

You do know that Fitzgerald knew Armitage was the leaker from the very
start, don't you?

Very difficult charge to make, based on how the law is written. You
have to have known and prosecution has to be able to prove that you knew
the agent was under cover.

Lying and obstructing justice, however, are an easy standard to
prosecute. Libby was found guilty of several counts of each, found
guilty by a jury of his peers, sentenced within guidelines by a
conservative judge...

Only to have his sentence commuted by a man who never commutes
sentences.

Law and order Republicans... what a crock.

There were all sorts of things congress and the justice department could
have been doing when they were pursuing Bill Clinton for lying about a
blow job.

Were you complaining back then?

I would have if Gore was being tried for Bubba's lying.

Oh, so you're saying we should pursue Cheney? The best way to Cheney
was to let Libby rot in jail for few months. I'm guessing the lid
would've come off a whole lot of stories...
