"That's not to say that Mr. Libby and other White House officials are blameless. As prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald has reported, when Mr. Wilson charged that intelligence about Iraq had been twisted to make a case for war, Mr. Libby and Mr. Cheney reacted by inquiring about Ms. Plame's role in recommending Mr. Wilson for a CIA-sponsored trip to Niger, where he investigated reports that Iraq had sought to purchase uranium. Mr. Libby then allegedly disclosed Ms. Plame's identity to journalists and lied to a grand jury when he said he had learned of her identity from one of those reporters. Mr. Libby and his boss, Mr. Cheney, were trying to discredit Mr. Wilson; if Mr. Fitzgerald's account is correct, they were careless about handling information that was classified."
They've still got it wrong.
"Mr. Libby and his boss, Mr. Cheney, were trying to discredit Mr. Wilson" = "WHAT jerk at CIA sent THAT idiot..."
"Discredit"= "explain" in newspeak.
The Post's second stage of the recovery process would be learning how to write in English. But they seem to have made the first step towards recovery. ("I am the Washingron Post and I am a Bushaholic".)
I am amazed.
