Libby said he heard about Plame from Tim Russert, and I'll bet the farm that he did. Unfortunately, Russert has the bully pulpit and the media all side with him. Of course the media never lies.
Libby's loss of freedom will not bother the media one whit, if that is what ultimately happens. They serve a God higher than truth and justice. It is spelled Democrat.
Make that a small g "god" on your post.
It's so obvious that the reason Armitage wasn't indicted for withholding information on his press contacts is that he was against the war in Iraq. How would it look if the Left went after an anti-war member of the State Dept., when the premise of the case all along has been that the White House leaked Plame's name to "get even" with Joe Wilson's anti-war newspaper rant. It just didn't fit in with the media's conspiracy theory spin.
