If Armitage committed a crime -- and at this point, I no longer remember the elements -- then he should go to jail. Maybe he's not out of those woods. I have no idea what his deal with Fitzpatrick is.
There was never ANY crime - until Libby got tripped up and apparently perjured himself. Therein lies the rub.

You don't know that. And in any event Armitage and Novak's latest don't change the analysis.

Do you not realize that Fitz knew Armitage's story months (years?) ago? Armitage fessed up to him immediately.

I think SS will agree with me when I say there is no point trying to converse with you on this topic until you read the book.

And let Wilson, et. al. continue to tar, feather and pillory Rove, Cheney and the entire administration in the press.

Douchebag.

Slave has my proxy on everything related to this Wilson/Rove/Plame/Armitage thing.


By the by, any timetable on Rove's impending indictment?

dissent. staying up hugging SS as he blubbers about what really scares him is not the same as having actually read the book.

There must be some reason why you think that the fact that Armitage was the first leaker makes the things done by Rove and Cheney OK, but I still can't figure out what it is.

you keep using her name and mentioning she was CIA. Are you being bad or is it just the first one who is culpable?

Defense 1: No controlling legal authority makes leaking the name illegal.

Defense 2: The name was leaked by someone else already, so any further statements were not making public the name of a secret agent.

Both defenses now work, so nothing wrong was done.

I think.

#1 doesn't depend on anything Armitage said.

As for #2, can it really be true that whether disclosing (a sort of) classified information is legal or not depends on whether someone else has disclosed it? Possibly, but I'll wait for Slave to quote the statute.

until you get Slave's answer maybe you should go delete all your posts here?
