Clarice Feldman writing in American Thinker:
“Mike Isikoff and David Corn, whose work I often discount because of their evident biases, have now produced a new book, reiterating what we‚Äôve been saying for some time: Richard Armitage was Robert Novak‚Äôs source about Plame and he kept silent as Scooter Libby, Karl Rove and the Administration in general were battered by the Plame/Wilsons and their proponents. Indeed, it was Corn who, days after the Novak piece appeared, reported in The Nation that Wilson‚Äôs wife was a ‚Äúcovert agent‚Äù who‚Äôd been outed in ‚Äúrevenge‚Äù, the meme that still is being played in the outer regions of sanity.
Read the rest.
It is interesting that Corn (and his amazing clairvoyance) who has more than an egg to fry in this story, as there are indications of his own involvement in the setup and pitch and subsequent strikeout of “Operation Joe Wilson” - would try to pull of the threads. But it’s fun to see the story continue in spite of the fact that nothing illegal occured by the “outing” of Valerie Plame - as indeed even that was orchestrated by a certain “meeting” on a street back in 2003, by an individual - who is a “partisan gunslinger, a meeting which too was set up and orchestrated by old JCW himself.
If those involved wanted the story to continue, they are about to get their wish but not as they would wish.
UPDATE: The Minuteman’s take, interesting questions.

1It was a strikingly effective bit of propaganda while it was in play. “the reporting was so damning that 72% of American‚Äôs indicated they believed the White House did it. Close to three-quarters of the United States populace were duped by the media reporting that the Bush Administration had done it in retaliation.” http://rayrobison.typepad.com/ray_robison/2006/08/president_bush_.html
Serial liar Wilson with the aid of the press (most especially Corn who started it) persuaded so many that a decent and honorable President had “lied” to them abouta very important matter, when he most certainly had not.
Another decent man was pilloried, indicted and financially ruined (Libby, a brilliant, hard working official).
Rove came out stronger.
Fitz’ reputation, like that of Armitage and Powell will be forever tarnished.So will the medias’-Kristof and Pincus should be drummed out of the business.
The NYT which did so much to push the story (like much of the media) now must live with–for them–a disastrous precedent respecting reporters’ need to testify in criminal cases.
It’s time for the plug to be pulled on this nonsense
