Broder: Wilson-Plame Hysteria Unfounded
Another sober assessment of the Wilson - Plame hysteria, accounting for the new Armatidge revelation. Would anybody today know who Plame was if Wilson hadn't reacted as he did to Novak's column? I doubt it.

"Blumenthal's example is far from unique. Newsweek, in a July 25, 2005, cover story on Rove, after dutifully noting that Rove's lawyer said the prosecutor had told him that Rove was not a target of the investigation, added: "But this isn't just about the Facts, it's about what Rove's foes regard as a higher Truth: That he is a one-man epicenter of a narrative of Evil."
And in the American Prospect's cover story for August 2005, Joe Conason wrote that Rove "is a powerful bully. Fear of retribution has stifled those who might have revealed his secrets. He has enjoyed the impunity of a malefactor who could always claim, however implausibly, deniability -- until now."
These and other publications owe Karl Rove an apology. And all of journalism needs to relearn the lesson: Can the conspiracy theories and stick to the facts."
That's right.
But Six, leftists can read minds, and they know everything. They understand everybody's motivation, and they need zero facts to KNOW with absolute 100% certainty that if Wilson's got his job via the State Dept, and his wife worked there and made the same recomendation, that Novak would never have reported this.
They also know absolutely that the unwavering 9cents/dollar profit that the wicked oil companies receive (compared with 12cents/dollar that the fed govt gets in sales tax!) represents price manupulation.
