I don't get this whole Plame Game...The Wilsons had a media openhouse at their residence before the Novak story was published. How can they claim the Administration outted her if they had reporters over for 4th of July bar-be-que?
Here's the Pincus story which describes the Media Openhouse at the super spook's home. Published on July 6th, 2003.

"Last week, Wilson said of Hussein: "I'm glad the tyrant is gone." But he does not believe the war was ever about eliminating Hussein's weapons of mass destruction. It was, he said, a political push to "redraw the map of the Middle East."
While his family prepared for a Fourth of July dinner, he proudly showed a reporter photos of himself with Bush's parents. On a den wall was a framed cable to him in Baghdad, from the first President Bush, dated Nov. 20, 1990:"
This whole affair has been disgusting. You also had her appearing with Wilson in a sports car photo, obviously made up to look like she was a spy. But most egregiously, she sent Wilson on the mission, then allowed him to repeatedly, publicly lie about the result so as to undercut the war effort. She had a duty to resign and set teh record straight, but instead she obviously was in on the whole charade. The exact OPPOSITE of the appropriate behavior for someone at the CIA.

I heard about this bar-be-que, but did I miss something? Did they admit to reporters that she was CIA?
