WILSON AND PLAME REFUSE TO LET THE FACTS GET IN THE WAY OF THEIR LAW-SUIT

BBC:

Outed CIA operative Valerie Plame and her husband, Bush critic Joseph Wilson, plan to go ahead with a lawsuit against close associates of President George W Bush despite a startling new revelation about the source of the leak that blew Ms Plame's cover, one of her lawyers has said.

Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson in a July 2006 file photo The new information "has no impact on the case. This case is about top-level White House officials who conspired against Valerie Wilson," Melanie Sloan, one of the Wilsons' lawyers, told the BBC, referring to Ms Plame by her married name.

The Wilsons filed suit in July against Vice-President Dick Cheney; his former chief of staff Lewis "Scooter" Libby; and Karl Rove, George W Bush's top political adviser, accusing them of intentionally revealing Ms Plame's identity to discredit Mr Wilson.

Armitage has admitted it was him. This is ntirely dispositive of their case. Their refusal to give up proves that they are either paranoids or traitors out to get the POTUS. Or both.

According to one report:

And he let the information slip to columnist Robert Novak more than three years ago not because he was part of an administration plot to exact revenge on Mr Wilson, but because he is "a well-known gossip who loves to dish and receive juicy tidbits about Washington characters", Mr Isikoff wrote in Newsweek magazine, where he works.

THE FACT THAT ARMITAGE FOUND OUT ABOUT PLAME THROUGH GOSSIP PROVES THAT IT WAS WIDELY KNOWN IN DC THAT WILSON'S WIFE WAS AT THE CIA.
