The saga continues and seems to have no end to the litany of complete insanity.

Outed CIA agent Plame adds Armitage to lawsuit


Former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage has been named in Valerie Plame's CIA leak lawsuit.

[NortonPete]

This has to be the most ridiculous "news story" of the decade.

I wonder what legal options Judith Miller, who spent hard time in jail for this
non event, can take?

I'm not a big fan but she should get even.

Armitage:
It's not enough that Bush is getting stabbed in the back on an hourly basis from Dems and the media: he's got plenty of back stabbers in his own party.
This story---relationship between Colin Powell and Armitage????????

There are so many things wrong here, its hard to list them all.

1st, Colin Powell knew about this 3 years ago, yet he and Armitage allowed the Whitehouse (The President, Cheney, Rove, Scooter Libby, et al) to swing in the breeze with their butts hanging out, being crucified by the NYT and the rest of the MSM, as well as by Fitzgerald and his Grand Juries.

2nd, Fitzgerald knew about it also, yet went ahead with his charade, dragging everyone in, allowing suspicion to dog them for 3 years, spending millions of taxpayer dollars, harrassing Judith Miller and the other guy (can't remember his name right now) and actually incarcerating Miller, as well as inditing Libby.

Somebody (or somebodies) need to have their tails in a tight sling over this whole thing, before its over, and its not the people they originally went after either, but the people who did the "going after".

I hesitate to add this here, but I can't remember the source (probably the Freepers who have pages on pages on this issue). The absolute irony of this whole case revolving around a 'lie' told by Scooter Libby to protect a reporterette is priceless. Kinda reminds us of a 'lie' told by the ex-Intern-cigar-chomper-in-chief! "I did not have sexual relations with that woman".

Given the parallel situations I'm betting the attempt will be made by the left to let it evaporate....but the indictment will hold for awhile. Our side should force the hand to make sure the indictment is overturned, and some kind of restitution given to Libby (I can't believe I just said something nice about a lawyer!)

For my money, Fitzgerald, Powell and Armitage get investigated.
Scooter Libby gets turned loose.
All the Democrats who accused the V.P of wrongdoing get to apologize.

Hey, I can have a wish list can't I.

Why would Wilson not be responsible to Judith Miller and the others that had to suffer through these investigations. Afterall Wasn't it Wilson that started the whole thing by printing lies in the New York Times? Maybe one of you attorney types can explain it to me.

Bush's AG was reluctant to go after Sandy' burgled documents. He didn't go after Dan's fraudulent documents nor will he prosecute Wolson's mendacity. But, after the election we'l likely see a pardon for Libby.

It's been reported Plame's covert status protection had expired anyway so there is no case here!

It was from a classified memo that Armitage learned Plame worked for the CIA. But there was no violation of the Intelligence Identities Protection Act; special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald "found no evidence that Armitage knew of Plame's covert CIA status." (By all available evidence, Plame's covert status had expired by the time of her "outing" anyway.)
