Armitage On CIA Leak: 'I Screwed Up'

CBS Exclusive Interview ^ | 9/7/06 | None Identified

[Laverne]

Have at it....

[NormsRevenge]

Too bas hari kari is not an acceptable method of attoning for such screw ups.

[Laverne]

Please ping the scooter list. Thanks.

[freedom4me]

BTTT

[samadams2000]

And you let down Powell who you are going to throw under the bus in true liberal fashion.

[SusaninOhio]

There are not enough words to describe how disgusting this is.

When will the frogmarching begin? Are the Wilsons still suing the entire leader of this great country, in an effort to keep the spotlight on them a little longer?

Hasn't there been a law or two broken by these vile and stupid people?

[Modok]

Well there now he has apolgised, so that makes it all okay now doesn't it. /Extreme sarcasm

[Dog]

Armitage says he didn't come forward because "the special counsel, once he was appointed, asked me not to discuss this and I honored his request."

Now why would Fitzie ask him to not reveal he was the source..

[Brilliant]

He did not screw up as badly as the media screwed up. They've been attributing the leak to Karl Rove for years.

[Laverne]

Some interesting items: Fitzy told Armitage not to talk; Fitzy now tells Armitag its OK to talk. Armitage says he NEVER told the President he was the leaker.

[B.O. Plenty]

I thought every day about how I'd screwed up,".....

I'll provide a .45 bullet...

[cripplecreek]

Oh that's OK dick. Not a problem, don't worry about it.

[Ken522]

I saw the segment while waiting for Rush's turn - that Armitage fellow sure is a shallow, pitiful, repulsive excuse for a government employee!

[muawiyah]

Well, hari kari is not ordinarily acceptable, but Richard ought to haul himself over to the Capitol steps and give us all an "exceptional" show ~ kind of as an apology to the American people and the United States of America.

I'd watch.

[Howlin]

"Oh I feel terrible. Every day, I think I let down the president. I let down the Secretary of State. I let down my department, my family and I also let down Mr. and Mrs. Wilson," he says.

How about Scooter, you jerk???

Scooter ping!

[dirtboy]

Armitage says he didn't come forward because "the special counsel, once he was appointed, asked me not to discuss this and I honored his request."

Guess Fitz didn't want anyone bringing an abrupt halt to his well-paying dog and pony show before it even started.

[Brilliant]

I guess this pretty much puts the last nail in the coffin of the Plame/Wilson lawsuit against Rove, Libby, and Cheney, doesn't it?

I wonder if the filing of the lawsuit might now be grounds for maliscious prosecution.

[ntnychik]

Was there any discussion on CBS about the continuing impact on and cost to Scooter Libby or the shadow that hung over Karl Rove for so long?

[Dog]

Yup..

[Laverne]

"Oh I feel terrible. Every day, I think I let down the president. I let down the Secretary of State. I let down my department, my family and I also let down Mr. and Mrs. Wilson," he says.

Interesting he doesn't say he let down Scooter or Rove or Cheney....all the ones who have been vilified by the outrageous lies of the old drive by media.
