In addition, he stated that his secret source was male, which eliminates secretary of state Condoleezza Rice and close Bush confidante Karen Hughes as suspects.

Barney Frank is also in the clear.

Libby has been charged with lying. Even if Woody said he told ever reporter in town on January 01, 1982, Libby would still be in hot water.

The only thing Woody torpedoed was his own crediblity. He allowed a special prosecutor to go after the Bush White House knowing damned well the Plame info was out there long before Libby reportedly said anything.

It is amazing that while on Larry King live last night, Woodward said he told Fitzgerald it is possible HE (Woodward) told Libby about Valerie Plame.

How did Woodward know what Libby told Fitzgerald until after the indictments?

the Democrats and their stooges in the elite media made this a big case because they wish to hurt the Bush Administration and they're being disingenous when they claim they're concerned over national security and leaking of classified information

Nobody "leaked" anything, and there was no crime committed.

>>If the Democrats truly were concerned about classified information leaks, they would have shoved a gag in Senator Patrick Leahy's mouth a long time ago.

Worth saying again.

Here is the pertinent part:

According to Woodward, the still-unknown source told him that Wilson's wife worked at the CIA as a weapons of mass destruction analyst.

Here is the OUCH part:

"If the Democrats truly were concerned about classified information leaks, they would have shoved a gag in Senator Patrick Leahy's mouth a long time ago."

I don't think it amounts to much. Fitz gave up on the leaks long ago. Now he's horrified to find that politicians lie. He hasn't learned yet that reporters lie even more. Woodward just means that he has to get more "creative" and do some more legislating from the prosecutor's office.

"Barney Frank is also in the clear." Why? He said the leaker was male.
