Reply #8: I totally agree with what you said here about Issikoff. [View All]

He is a total bullshit artist.
Frankly, calling himself a journalist, requires one to have a vivid imagination.

Issikoff is more of a gossip columnist than a reporter.

This is nothing but a right-wing distraction from the truth - that it was Cheney and Libby who outed Valerie Plame.

Oh, sure, Armitage heard about who Plame was weeks later, but he wasn't privvy to that level of security.

Go back and read what Joe Wilson said in his book: there were only 3 men in the Bush administration who could have leaked this information - Rove, Libby, and Cheney.

Rove didn't have the security clearence necessary to know from the CIA directly who Valerie Plame was, but he could have been told by Cheney or Libby.

Libby has already been indicted.
And since Rove was not indicted, that only leaves Cheney to be the 2nd person that Novak referred to in his piece as his sources for that information as "two senior administration officials."
