Teamwork
A commenter at JustOneMinute succinctly sums up the Valerie Plame nonsense, which has now officially collapsed into the fetid, stinking heap it was since Day One.
"So the State Dept leaked the Plame info, then they hinted that the White House did it, then they kept quiet and let their friends in the press do the rest."
Precisely. The villains here are Plame's husband Joe "The Lying Ambassador" Wilson, Richard Armitage, Colin Powell, Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald, and the New York Times.
Another nice effort by all concerned. But one effect was that Karl Rove (the target) had to give up one of his White House jobs, and that frees him to concentrate fully on strategy for the upcoming elections. If he needed any extra motivation, he has it now.
