Perhaps you stopped deliberately where you did, Azizi but I'd like to make sure everyone reads the next paragraph:

"The problem with that lie is that the CIA has, on more than one occasion, stated that Plame was still in protected status. Also, the Republican Libby liars conveniently omit the fact that it was the CIA that had requested an investigation into her name being leaked to the press. Oh, and, too, Republicans act as though the prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald, wasn't himself a Republican that had been appointed by a Republican. But honestly, it doesn't matter."

Thanks, Azizi.
