Dems "Bush Lied" Meme

Now it is confirmed that the beginning of the "Bush Lied" meme was engineered by Valerie Plame's husband and strung out by the MSM and the loose lips and cowardice of Richard Armitage, Colin Powell's top deputy at the State Dept. Jack Kelly, RCP:
Mr. Armitage disclosed to his boss, Secretary of State Colin Powell, and to Justice Department officials his role in the case in October, 2003, after a second Novak column, Mr. Isikoff and Mr. Corn say.

For more than three years, Mr. Rove and Mr. Libby have been accused, falsely, of being the source of the leak. Mr. Armitage, Mr. Powell, and Justice department officials knew the truth, but said nothing. Clarice Feldman, a Washington, D.C. lawyer, described Mr. Armitage's silence as "inexplicable and perfidious."

Treachery and cowardice at Colin Powell's State Dept. No wonder they got along so well with the French (before the French betrayed them on the war)!

And Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald is a disgrace.

UPDATE: Christopher Hitchens lays it all out in "Plame Out". Via Drudge. Also Mark Levin, NRO.
