So the State Dept. Leaked

According to former Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee, he of Watergate fame, it was not the Bush White House, Karl Rove or Vice President Cheney's aide Scooter Libby who leaked Valerie Plame's CIA connection.

It was former Secretary of State Colin Powell's right hand man, Richard Armitage. Fox News:

Bradlee says, "That Armitage is the likely source is a fair assumption. I had heard about an e-mail that was sent that had a lot of unprintable language in it." Armitage was a known dissenter from the Bush Iraq policy and if he turned out to the first to disclose Plame's identity, it would be a blow to the conspiracy theorists who have long claimed that the White House leaked her name to intimidate her husband, also an Iraq policy dissenter.

And Bradlee knows a conspiracy when he sees one.
