The obvious explanation has already been posted. That Chris Matthews is a hidebound shill for the Donks and the Plame affair is no longer useful to his cause. So it drops out of sight, off his show for good, without another word. Chrissy-pooh will never apologize same as the NY Slimes.
In contrast the Washington Post wrote a very fine post-Armitage editorial. The Post has always been better balanced than the Times

Don't forget that Woodward is assistant managing editor. He apologized to his own paper several months ago for keeping his contact with Armitage, in which Plame was identified, a secret. Also, I seem to recall seeing him on Meet The Press several months ago expressing skepticism about Rove/Cheney/Libby?Bush's involvement in the Plame affair.
In hindsight, it is clear why he was skeptical.
