- When I served in the Marines as a U.S. Embassy Guard we were taught to protect classified material, including the names and identifications of clandestine employees. We served under the Direction of the Department of State. Now you have Mr. Armitage harming our country by outing our intelligence officers and putting lives at danger.
He is an embarrassment to the U.S. Department of State and to the U.S. Government. He should be locked away for the rest of his life for treason.

- If it was significant enough a crime to indict Scooter Libby for NOT doing it, why is it then insignificant that Armitage DID do it? Can we expect charges against Armitage? Or against Powell, who knew the truth from the beginning? Or against Fitzgerald, who clearly abused his position? A crime serious enough to warrant an independent counsel demands a resolution, so the question is: who's going down?

- It is unbelievable that Fitzpatrick continued to pursue this for 2 or more years. It is obvious to me the "special persecutor" is looking at the political hay he can make and is more likely a left wing commiecrat than anyone will admit.
This guy should be fired immediately, and then disbarred and finally indicted for abuse of power. - Reply to this comment
- MonsterSound, thanks for the links, obviously if these two people are reporting this than it must be fact (sarcasm). It's amazing that all the money and resources the major networks have and they can't get the same info as these two people working out of their parents basements.
For a crime to be committed two things must be proven: actus rea (criminal act) and mens rea (criminal intent). It looks seriously doubtful that a crime has even been committed. Assuming a jury could be convinced that she was a covert agent, I see serious problems proving criminal intent.
Now, that said, I hope that the special investigator is most specially investigated. He obviously bilked us tax payers out of a lot of money.
Fact: We will never know the whole story. - Reply to this comment
- I notice few of you seem to think that Scooter Libby and Karl Rove are owed an apology. The Dems and the media have been feasting on this bit of doggerel for what, 3 years now? Hoping for indictments? Isn't this what you excoriated Republicans for during the Clinton years? I guess taking the high road doesn't occur to many of you.
And of course Armitage only thinks he owes the Wilsons an apology. Wouldn't want to miss any cocktail parties over a small thing like allowing peoples lives and reputations to be smeared.
Positively revolting. - Reply to this comment
- How on Earth can you leak something that's already been leaked? Fact: Huffington is a twit.

- A very tricky guy, that Fitzgerald. He knew the
man who furnished Novak the name, yet he pursued a crime that did not exist. Does that not violate a trust and an oath? I thought that a prosecutor was sworn to uphold the law, not to try and manufacture crimes when no crimes exist.
I guess that Fitzgerald first had to assist in creating some crimes and then getting some criminals in order to be a prosecutor. He reversed the process! After all, what good is a prosecutor if there are no crimes? He made himself relevant. - Reply to this comment
- If you care about your country you must care about facts.

Fact: Karl Rove leaked Joe Wilson's wife's identity to Matt Cooper BEFORE Novak published his column.

- Hey Bruinau and KirstenNJ give up on the whole covert vs non-covert thing. Nobody cares.
Issue now is why this played out the way it did viz Fitzgerald and Libby. I'm sure we'll find out more as this unfolds further. - Reply to this comment
