Getting to the bottom
David Corn appears to have gotten to the bottom of the entire Plame affair. In a seemingly clear and concise statement in this piece Monday—one that seems also to have not much to do with his ultimate point—Corn lets the cat out of the bag:
But in this frenzy to undercut Joe Wilson, Rove disclosed Valerie Wilson's CIA employment--which was classified information--to conservative columnist Bob Novak, who then outed her in print as a CIA operative.
So it was Rove!? Has anyone told Fitzgerald about this? In a piece filed yesterday, also penned by Corn:
Fitzgerald has not indicted Rove, and his exact role in the leak remains murky--though he reportedly was the second source for the Bob Novak column that disclosed Valerie Wilson's CIA employment.
So which is it, David? Did he tell Bob first, or second? Is he the source or is he not the source? Pick an argument and stick with it!
