-snip- In short, Joe Wilson hadn't told the truth about what he'd discovered in Africa, how he'd discovered it, what he'd told the CIA about it, or even why he was sent on the mission. The media and the Kerry campaign promptly abandoned him, though the former never did give as much prominence to his debunking as they did to his original accusations. But if anyone can remember another public figure so entirely and thoroughly discredited, let us know.

Har har.

Personally, I prefer to obtain my info from a financial paper. Usually they are more factual, reliable and accurate in most matters. Just as the Socialists and Democrats cannot legislate economics, the media cannot print the truth. Why? Unless they are a financial type of publication, they editorialize. The financial papers have to stick more or less to the truth because finance is what it is, a fact - it isn't fiction.

That said, the Financial Times is rated the top paper in the world, while the fairy tale NY Times is 6 th and doesn't deserve that position. The paper cited in your reference doesn't even rank, but feel free to correct me. The Financial Times indicates there is more here that we wish to admit. Reference:

Excerpts: Pressure builds over Rove CIA ‘leak' By Holly Yeager in Washington Published: July 10 2005 23:15 | Last updated: July 11 2005 23:44 "Karl Rove
The White House on Monday faced intensifying pressure over the role that Karl Rove, the president's top political adviser, may have played in leaking the identity of a covert Central Intelligence Agency officer."

POINT: It is illegal to disclose the name of a CIA covert agent even if ROVE is a WHISTLEBLOWER.

"Scott McClellan, the White House spokesman, was visibly uncomfortable on Monday as he faced heavy questioning about the case. “We're not going to get into commenting on an ongoing criminal investigation from this podium,” he said."

Let's let the investigators go with this one, as the White House says. Let us not jump on an opinion that is not substantiated and offered by a third rate paper. CASE CLOSED.
