Booby

I don't have the time now to do the full forensics, but there are reasons this is rather important, especially the numerous media appearances Booby made trying to throw cold water on this story without bothering to reveal his little conflict. I'm sure a blogger ethics panel could clear all this up:
Washington Post Assistant Managing Editor Bob Woodward testified under oath Monday in the CIA leak case that a senior administration official told him about CIA operative Valerie Plame and her position at the agency nearly a month before her identity was disclosed.

In a more than two-hour deposition, Woodward told Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald that the official casually told him in mid-June 2003 that Plame worked as a CIA analyst on weapons of mass destruction, and that he did not believe the information to be classified or sensitive, according to a statement Woodward released yesterday.


There's a lot more in there, and I'm sure the advanced Plameologists will have much to discuss, including the Pincus/Booby catfight. Meeow!
