Former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage has admitted he was the one who leaked the identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame (Wilson).
Armitage said he inadvertently revealed Plame’s job to syndicated columnist Robert Novak in July 2003.

Early in the inquiry, Armitage told authorities he was Novak’s source. Armitage said Fitzgerald asked him to not to say that publicly. Fitzgerald then pressed on with the investigation, questioning White House aides. Among them was top Bush adviser Karl Rove, who appeared five times before a grand jury before being cleared of wrongdoing this summer.

It was not Rove, Libby, Cheney or the President. Fitgerald's knowledge and silence regarding the truth IMO gives considerable proof that the "investigation" was just political manuvering and not the investigation that it was supposed to be.
You can call it "Patrick Fitgerald's publicly funded Witchunt".
[Yawn] Another liberal conspiracy theory appropriately flushed away as deserved. Years of "investigation" efforts when Fitzgerald knew the truth. I wonder how many tax dollars went down the flusher on this..
Consequently, Joseph C. Wilson 4th and Valerie Plame Wilson's lawsuit against Rove, Libbby and Cheney will probably go the way of the flusher as well. [Insert Laugh track here]
Conspiracy is still a probable issue, but it's now a question of whether or not Fitzgerald and others consipred to falsely implicate Rove, Libby, Cheney, or the President.
LOL, let's see what happens now. The sideshow just got somewhat more entertaining.
