After the Woodward revelation, the Washington Post bought into the lie that this shot Fitzgerald's take on Libby. Supposedly Fitzgerald was resting his case on the belief that Libby was the first to leak to a reporter. In fact, Fitzgerald just said Libby was the first known leaker (so far). I guess Fitzgerald pushed the Post on it, because in this article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/... the dirty dogs admit they misspoke.
Attention dogs: I apologize for sullying your reputations by associating you with the Washington Post, Mr. Woodward, etc.
Anyway, I wish I could know what process led to this correction:
:
"Correction to This Article
An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby had been identified in the special counsel's indictment as the first Bush administration official to disclose the identify of a CIA operative to a journalist. The special counsel described Libby's role at a news conference. "
