More new and not very exciting news on the Plame case. Bob Woodward has now testified that he was told by an administration official (who is neither Libby nor Rove) that Plame (or maybe he was told Wilson's wife) worked for the CIA about a month before Scooter Libby was supposedly the first person to tell a reporter, which means that neither Rove or Lbby could have been the initial leakers. It also means that Libby will probably be cleared of his indictment, because not only is it hard to prove that he lied rather than just forgot a detail, but whether or not he lied becomes less and less important to the "important" issue, who leaked the info, as more information comes forward.

And then you have people like Andrea Mitchell, who once said that Plame' working for the CIA was generally known by D.C. press before all this, and is now backpedaling and saying no one had a clue. Is she lying?

Also, why after two years and ample chances and the indictment of one person and the jailing of someone else, did Fitzgerald never get Woodward on the stand. The guy doesn't sound like he was hiding under a rock, but it does seem like Fitzy is a crappy detective. I'd like to know the truth at this point. The whole scandal is meaningless and a waste of time, but I've wasted so much time arguing about it, that I want to know the answer.
