Richard Armitage: the dishonorable diplomat

Robert Novak discusses what really happened during his conversation with Richard Armitage in which the latter discussed who Valerie Plame was and her connection to Joseph C. Wilson IV's worthless mission to Niger. Novak is a conservative, but not a close friend of the Bush Administration -- he opposed the invasion of Iraq and is nearly Buchananite in his disdain for Israel. Therefore, Novak's credibility is not impugnable on partisan grounds, in contrast to Armitage's credibility which is affected by the fact that he's covering his own rear end.
