I hate to say I told you so, but...

I wrote about this before, so I know you were not surprised at all to learn that the person who supposedly "outed" Valerie Plame was not associated with the White House after all!

"AND so we learn it was former US deputy secretary of state Richard Armitage - Australia's best friend in the US - not the Bush White House who was the first to out Valerie Plame as a CIA employee.
With this knowledge is demolished yet another left-liberal fantasy about George W. Bush"

The author hist the fantasy and conspiracy theories right between the eyes.

"Mr Rove and Mr Libby's guilt was never in doubt. Mr Rove spoke with a Texas accent, Scooter had a silly name. What more proof was needed?
From Le Monde to the Guardian, from Balmain to Carlton, no right-thinking progressive ever doubted the conspiracy theory that the Bush White House had decided to punish Mr Wilson for becoming a critic of the war by outing his wife. "

The conspiracies didn't make sense then and they don't make sense now and with good reason.

"Mr Wilson, furiously writing opinion pieces for The New York Times and boasting about his wife, did everything he could to draw attention to himself, not normally the way the spouses of covert agents maintain their covert status. "

Don't expect the truth or logic to stop the conspiracy theorists. As long as George W. Bush is President, those suffering from BDS will spin theories about the evil emminating from the Bush White House. And we know that we will definately not be seeing apologies or retractions from any of the media outlets that played judge, jury and executioner to Karl Rove!
