Only A Pawn in their Game1

As the NY Times shoved scandal-scarred reporter Judith Miller out the window, John Hawkins at Right Wing News offers quotes from journalists and friends who knew Valerie Plame worked for the CIA long before what lefties falsely call a "retaliatory outing" by the Bush Administration. Of course, as previously shown, the best evidence Ms Joseph Wilson wasn't a covert agent comes from Mr Joseph Wilson, interviewed by Wolf Blitzer on CNN:
WILSON: My wife was not a clandestine officer the day that Bob Novak blew her identity.
This could hardly be more clear, right?

Until recently, the left wing media agreed. Lately, the phony "Plame-gate" metastasized into, as a minimum, a baseball bat for biased Bush bashing or, more often, a weapon of mass destruction in the CIA's long-standing war on the Administration.

Why isn't that more widely disseminated and discussed?

It's not fit to print, that's why.

While I agree that evidence indicates Plame wasn't covert, Wilson's quote on CNN (read in contect of the transcript) seems to refer to the fact that he believes Plame ceased to be a clandestine officer as soon as the Novak article was published.
