FITZPATRICK SHOULD BE ON TRIAL NOT LIBBY
CNN article - August 30, 2006:

On February 12, 2007:
Bob Woodward testified that "former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage disclosed the identity of a C.I.A. agent to him in June 2003, but that Lewis Libby Jr. said nothing about the agent when Mr. Woodward talked to him two weeks later," David Stout reported in the New York Times.
This is the Bob Woodward of Deep Throat fame in the Nixon Break-in Scandal.

The above two lines are ONE url, not two.
Here is Novack himself (the reporter to whom and by whom Valerie Plame's name was mentioned) in an article dated September 14, 2006:

The title of this article is, "Say It Isn't So, Colin!" Apparently, he never has. If he has I am unaware of it.

This article starts out by saying, "As everyone and their kitchen cat now knows, former Assistant Secretary of State Richard Armitage was Robert Novak's apparently unwitting source for the rather uninteresting information that former Ambassador Joe Wilson's wife was a low-level CIA employee, and that Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald knew this perfectly well for the last three years while he pursued other administration officials who did not know that Mr. Armitage was the original leaker..."
Short blog by Governor Whitman (Governor of New Jerssy):

I could go on. What burns me is what Gov. Whitman says about the Special Prosecutor. He is a person with unlimited funds and almosty unlimited power who does not have to answer to anyone. What a nightmare. It reminds me of the Inquisition and the Grand Inquisitor. "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Lord Acton, British historian of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Here is another great summary of the perfidy of the entire process:

There are many more sources. However, as a lawyer I am stunned by the admission by silence of Mr. Fitzgerald, the Special Prosecutor. An admission by silence is a well recognized legal method of proof surely known to Mr. Fitzgerald.
