Rove: You never heard this from me but…
Novak: Interesting. Your secret’s safe with me.

Two weeks later Rove or Libby (on orders?) tell Armitage about Plame, neglecting to inform him of her status.

One week later…
Novak: You won’t believe who let the cat out of the bag?
Rove” Who?
Novak: Armitage!
Rove: Purrrfect.

Here was a similar thought from July 11.

Like many, I’m already balking at the "innocent gossip" theory of Richard Armitage’s leaking Plame’s identity, as if I know what the book says. So I’ll reserve judgement and just react to the raw data for now. Both Christy at Firedoglake and emptywheel at The Next Hurrah suggest that Novak had to have another source that told him the details of Plame’s job at the C.I.A. [and they’re both front-line Plame-ologists!].

In other words, we know Cheney is on record with investigators. Fitz knows what he told them. Does he also know that Cheney’s testimony at the upcoming Libby trial will intersect with his prior statements to investigators? Is the Libby indictment really resting on a firm basis? It seems like the Armitage revelation should have been enough to shut the whole case down early on. Or is the Libby trial as simple as Libby told Ari, Ari told Fitz, Fitz asked Cheney, Cheney denied, Fitz asked Libby, Libby fingers Cheney? If so, it’s all academic as Libby will quite definitely receive a Casper Weinberger Special Jumbo Pardon with all the trimmings.</p> If Cheney is indeed in the cross hairs, can the Libby indictment be considered in some way an elaborate perjury trap for Cheney?

Maybe the question isn’t whether or when Iraq is having a civil war, when does civil war become the last option in America?

Will he? Nope- so whatever he does afterwards will be too little too late.</p> Fitz has two months to do the right thing and let the american voters know that there are criminals in the White House before the midterms.
