Associated Press Fails To Mention One Important Fact

Columnist Robert Novak said publicly for the first time Tuesday that White House political adviser Karl Rove was a source for his story outing the identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame.

In a column, Novak also says his recollection of his conversation with Rove differs from what the Rove camp has said.

…

Rove’s role in the scandal wasn’t revealed until last summer when Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper disclosed that Rove had leaked him the CIA identity of Wilson’s wife. Cooper cooperated with prosecutors only after all his legal appeals were exhausted and he faced jail.

While Rove escaped indictment, Libby has been charged with lying about how he learned of the covert CIA officer’s identity and what he told reporters about it.

Ain’t it funny how this article fails to mention Who’s Who in America, or Joseph Wilson’s entry in it? The failure to point out that one important fact makes the article take a whole different tack. It’s funny what the media choses to conveniently “forget”.

Then again, I’m sure the media would rather not focus on the truth right now, as painful as it is.
