US - Armitage has some answering to do

Mark Levin has some thoughts.

In a recent New York Times interview, Armitage says he never revealed his role because Patrick Fitzgerald asked him to keep quiet. Maybe so, but the Novak column appeared on July 14, 2003, and Fitzgerald was appointed on December 30, 2003. Armitage had over five months to inform the president, but he did not. And, of course, Fitzgerald's subsequent request wasn't binding on Armitage either. Armitage, Powell, and all the rest of the State Department bigs kept Armitage's role secret — one of the few secrets they seemed willing or capable of keeping to themselves — while the president, vice president, Karl Rove, and Lewis Libby were being smeared by the Left, including in the media. Their behavior was contemptible.

They all the President and his administration a big apology.
