The Plot Thickens in Plamegate

The Washington Post is reporting that "Assistant Managing Editor Bob Woodward testified under oath Monday in the CIA leak case that a senior administration official told him about CIA operative Valerie Plame and her position at the agency nearly a month before her identity was disclosed.

"Citing a confidentiality agreement in which the source freed Woodward to testify but would not allow him to discuss their conversations publicly, Woodward and Post editors refused to disclose the official's name or provide crucial details about the testimony.

"Mark Corallo, a spokesman for Rove, said that Rove is not the unnamed official who told Woodward about Plame and that he did not discuss Plame with Woodward."

This would not be the first time Rove, through a spokesperson, denied involvement in Plamegate. It's time for this administration to come clean, and for the individuals who breached national security to be fired or resign.
