  Maybe he's just sick of Congress whipping a dead horse when there are far more important matters to deal with. It was established long ago that Richard Armitage was the one who told the reporter about the D.C. desk jockey Plame.

    Apparently some people just don't want hear it. It was not the administration it was the STATE Department and her husband who leaked her name.
    WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage was the source who revealed the identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame to syndicated columnist Robert Novak in 2003, touching off a federal investigation, two sources familiar with Armitage's role tell CNN.
    The sources said Armitage revealed Plame's role at the CIA almost inadvertently in a casual conversation with Novak, and it is not clear if he knew her identity was classified at the time.
