Your thread title "Armitage IS "leaker"!! HAH! Apologize MEM! BOW BEFORE THE G-MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!" is cute though.



Wow, MEM, you sure left out ALOT of that article..... Not least among your omissions was the dateline:

Not only is the small portion you cited contradicted by what we NOW know 4 and a half months later, but it's also no more than Fitsgerald's opinion. He found no crime. The best he could do was find Libby for a process crime and attemt to do the same with Rove and Cheaney. At best the quote you cited reveals Fitsgerald's bias.



As I understand what Novak has said there isn't a contradiction at all. According to Novak, Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald knew who his sources were so Novak had no reason not to try to protect them. So when Fitzgerald spoke of a "concerted effort" he also knew Armitage was also Novak's source. Rove & Libby still scuttled around like cockroaches talking off the record (leaking). Fitzgerald role kind of makes his opinion a bit more important than a couple of spinmeisters.

Fair play!
