That was my first reaction when I clicked on the thread. Talk about a jaw dropper!
Of course, when you click the link to read the whole editorial, the Washington Post briefly reverts to form as it goes on to characterize Cheney's and Libby's efforts as trying to "discredit" Wilson and in the process being "careless with classified information".
But then the Washington Post ends the editorial with this incredible bombshell of a conclusion (a conclusion you would never see in the scumbag New York Times in a million years):
"Nevertheless, it now appears that the person most responsible for the end of Ms. Plame's CIA career is Mr. Wilson. Mr. Wilson chose to go public with an explosive charge, claiming -- falsely, as it turned out -- that he had debunked reports of Iraqi uranium-shopping in Niger and that his report had circulated to senior administration officials. He ought to have expected that both those officials and journalists such as Mr. Novak would ask why a retired ambassador would have been sent on such a mission and that the answer would point to his wife. He diverted responsibility from himself and his false charges by claiming that President Bush's closest aides had engaged in an illegal conspiracy. It's unfortunate that so many people took him seriously."
