I told you so…

 …about the CIA/Whitehouse leak.  There was no crime!

 Last spring, the alleged outing of allegedly covert CIA agent Valerie Plame made headline news everywhere.  Network TV, newspapers, cable news, magazines, and radio were all abuzz about the alleged Bush Administration the scandal.

 The Leftists called for the head of Carl Rove, then Dick Cheney, then Scooter Libby.  They all went through Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald’s legal meat-grinder for nearly two years.

 I wrote an article explaining that were was no crime, because Plame was not a covert agent and therefore could not be outted.  The entire scandal was just a political hatchet job by the Left.

 Well, I was proven right this week with the little news story about Richard Armitage the second in command at the U.S. State Department.

 Armitage was the Deputy Secretary of State directly under Secretary of State Colin Powell.  When Armitage saw Bob Novak’s article that started this whole investigation, he called Powell to say he thought he was the one that Novak was speaking about.

 Powell instructed Armitage to contact the Special Prosecutor (SP) in the case.  Armitage was told by SP Fitzpatrick “not to discuss this and I honored his request” through this whole embarrassing ordeal.  

 Armitage explained he told journalist Bob Novak about Plame indirectly, but he would have never known about her if she had been covert.  He said, “Her name showed up in memos.”  Covert agents are never officially written about.

 SP Fitzpatrick should be prosecuted for abuse of power because he knowingly withheld information that Rove, Cheney, and Libby were not guilty.
