Plame Outing: Who is Lying Now?

The Nation asks: Who's Lying Now? Yeah, wouldn't we all like to know? Matt Cooper tells the NY Times that he first learned of Plame from Rove. Frank Rich (taking Deep Throat's line of "Follow the money" when reporters tried to unravel Watergate) says this: Follow the Uranium. Rich wisely says: "This scandal is not about Matt Cooper, Judy Miller or the Wilsons or the bad guy everyone loves to hate Karl Rove, or the former CNN star Robert Novak... It is about the president of the United States. It is about a plot that was hatched at the top of the administration and in which everyone else, Mr. Rove included, are at most secondary players." Wise words indeed. And please watch this Crooks and Liars clip of Meet the Press (hat tip to Karena for directing Mehlman's appearance on MTP to me) and tell me if you think that Tim Russert & John Podesta were fed up w/Mehlman's mealy- mouthed answers and non-answers. When Bob Schieffer bares his claws at the WH over this issue, you know that most now suspect that a major WH conspiracy lies under the ice.
