Snakes On A Plame

And Now We're Gonna Find Out If It's A King Snake Or A Rattler: "'When Richard Armitage finally acknowledged last week he was my source three years ago in revealing Valerie Plame Wilson as a CIA employee, the former deputy secretary of state's interviews obscured what he really did,' Bob Novak claims in a column set for Thursday release...

...'First, Armitage did not, as he now indicates, merely pass on something he had heard and that he 'thought' might be so. Rather, he identified to me the CIA division where Mrs. Wilson worked, and said flatly that she recommended the mission to Niger by her husband, former Amb. Joseph Wilson. Second, Armitage did not slip me this information as idle chitchat, as he now suggests. He made clear he considered it especially suited for my column.'...

...Armitage's tardy self-disclosure is tainted because it is deceptive.' "


Did I just hear a scream from somewhere ?
