that appear in the wingnut-o-sphere. Count and report the corrected record in the columns. I will bet right now there will be not a one. The issue will be stuffed in the Memory Hole as if it never was, and the fact that Plame was "covert" will be dismissed as of no importance, being as that her husband is a Bad Man who Made Trouble -- and she got him the gig in Niger, anyway. Nyah, nyah.
On the other hand, it didn't help a bit that the Plame-Wilsons and the CIA played coy about her status, and Fitzgerald has taken how long to clearly state the obvious? Part of the reason the RWAs got away with their lies -- and they have, make no mistake -- was because the people who knew the truth wouldn't state it.
"Process" and "rules" somehow prevented them from countering the outright falsehoods being spread far and wide without challenge. Played right in to the Big Lie, didn't it?
Why would they let the lie proceed like that?
