Traitorgate: The COVER-UP

[skip fox]

It might be useful to collect here all the disinformation the WH is bletching out and the cover they are preparing. They are working hastily and on the fly, and thus might well trip up when the stakes get even higher (because cover-ups tend to go up the ladder).

What I've heard so far:

1.) Many around DC knew Plame was with the Bureau. (This allows the administration to pin the leak on lower level officials--other than Libby and Rove).

2.) The law night not apply to "operatives" or those not undercover. Watch for her status to come under increasing scrutiny with administration apologists muddying the waters with her job title and description.

If we start collecting these, we might plan better ways of avoiding the WH's diversions.
