Although Mr. Bumble deserved no sympathy for his predicament..., OK, I'll have to agree on that.

:-)

But I'm not sure you would be allowed even to think this today:

"'You were present on the occasion…and, indeed, you are the more guilty of the two, in the eye of the law; for the law supposes that your wife acts under your direction.

An interesting comment from one of the firedoglake readers:

" pattern emerges as emptywheel notes. They’re constructing the timeline of a gaggle of reporters (I won’t call them journalists) who were on the receiving end of leaks from a plethora of sources, e.g. Ari, Armi, Rove, but not Libby. The reporters who spoke to Libby didn’t learn the Plame identity from him. Ergo, since Libby also spoke with many reporters it’s plausible that he did, in fact, hear for the first time that Wilson’s wife worked for the CIA from a reporter during the course of his conversations with them.

That’s my take on Team Libby’s strategery. They certaily seem to be hammering on the “everybody knew” theme."
