Richard Armitage accidently revealed her covert status to Novak. This is a non-story by a woman who loves the media spotlight.

She spoke about Armitage, and the parallel timelines of disclosures. You might want to get your facts straight.

...but it being Armitage doesn't make her a victim of a Bush orchestrated plot to ruin her thus resulting in her not making money from her book and being a big draw on the hater speaking circuit.

It almost certainly has to have been Armitage as the Bush administration isn't competent enough to have pulled off such an operation.

I don't understand this response. Richard Armitage admitted he accidentally leaked the name to Novak. That's not up for speculation. There never was a malicious plot to destroy Plame. State and the WH have never really gotten along well under Bush, and they did not conspire to out this woman.

It's true that Valerie Plame Wilson is just a pawn in a much larger game. But it is truly unbelievable that this issue, along with the faulty and dishonest rationale for the whole Iraq fiasco, did not become an even bigger issue for the Bush administration.

Let's compare. The Clinton administration spent most of their tenure fighting off trumped up charges about petty land deals and illicit sex. The Republicans significantly overplayed their hand, yet cost the taxpayers millions of dollars. The Bush administration systemically lied about why we went into Iraq, bullied Joe Wilson and others who dared to question them, and cost us millions of dollars and worse yet millions of lives.

I ask you - which president deserved to be impeached??

Watch out - partisan horns are showing.

Trumped up charges? 15 guilty convictions for whitewater

Number of individuals and businesses associated with the Clinton machine who have been convicted of or pleaded guilty to crimes: 47

The number of times Hillary said "I don't recall", "I can't remember", etc - 250 times. Bill Clinton - 267 times

Where did Bush lie? When he repeated British claims? The UK hasn't backed away from their claims. Wilson was caught in a lie (not the first time). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowcake_forgery

Joe Wilson was the leaker! He put her name into his "Who's Who" and also told David Corn she was a CIA agent long before Novak column was publish. She should sue him.
