That's one of the $10 million questions that everyone in the MSM is too biased or too dim-witted to ask. Let's hope that Fitzgerald has been asking it and/or that someone has been bringing it to his attention. He should have been investigating the whole "CIA rogues in war on the White House (and America)" rather than worrying about who mentioned Joe Wilson's wife to whom.

There's a very good article on the whole Wilson affair in the current issue of The Weekly Standard (which has Wilson and Plame on the cover), by Stephen Hayes. He analyzes the whole series of events very carefully and points out additional times when Wilson flat-out lied (besides those others have pointed to). The Senate report that found that Wilson had lied was signed by every member of the committee.

No doubt Fitzgerald or someone on his staff will read that article. If Fitzgerald goes ahead with one or more indictments against White House insiders it will show he is out to advance the interests of the cabal in the CIA which is trying to undermine Bush, not to find the truth.
