"I am lost in how the Woodward revelation is a good thing for the Whitehouse? If Woodward is to be believed, Senior Whitehouse staff was trying to discredit Plame/Wilson longer then had been known."
The premise of Wilson and his water carriers in the DNC/MSM is that Plame was outed as payback.
Do you think George Tenet or Colin Powell would have outed her as payback?
Nobody does. Not even the lunatics in the DNC/MSM.
