Phsstpok, the reality is the left does not care or believe they were wrong. They remain delusional. Here's an email response I got from an activist Democrat on this very issue.
I don't think Wilson's jumping to conclusions is all that outrageous.
There were many meetings in the White House to figure out a way to discredit Wilson, I think any paranoia on his part is well deserved.
Truth and best for the country????
Armitage did admit the outing of Plame to the State department days after it happened. Why did this administration keep that a secret and have us go through all the mess and expense of an investigation? Was it so they could come out just before the election and show that the White House staff was innocent and wrongly tried by gossip?
Armitage is a Republican and he has always been a Republican patriot, worked with presidents and other high figures forever. Why would you ever say he was anti-US though? Guess it depends on what you mean by US.
Of course I was ready to see Rove dragged through an overflowing Iraqi morgue for his part in it(which we'll probably never know).
Why wouldn't the Democrats ignore this - it turned out to be a non-story.
Why would Republicans bring it up - they are the ones that kept it a secret for 3 years.
Either way Bush said he'd fire whoever did it. Maybe that's why he kept the secret - he didn't want to fire the number 2 guy at the State Department.
Oh, by the way, what was it that Wilson lied about?
