David Corn and Michael Isikoff have a new book which confirms that Richard Armitage was the original Plame leaker. Close observers had already figured this out; Tom Maguire, for one, zeroed in on Armitage months ago. Maguire's most recent post on the topic, noting Armitage's (vague) association with the McCain campaign team, came just this Tuesday.

The corollary to this revelation has been equally clear all this time: Pace the anti-Bush storyline, the Plame kerfuffle was not a case of the White House intentionally blowing Plame's super-secret cover to attack her husband.
