Former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage still has not said a word about his role in first outing former Ambassador Joe Wilson's wife as a CIA employee.
It has now been five days since Armitage was identified in a new book as being the person who first told Columnist Robert Novak that Valerie Plame Wilson worked at the CIA, a fact that Novak revealed in his column, touching off a barrage of allegations by Joe Wilson and others that the White House had outed her to get back at him for criticizing the administration's Iraq policy.
Armitage could have ended all of that had he come forward, but even now, with the criminal investigation into the matter all but over, he has continued his public silence and so has his former boss, ex-Secretary of State Colin Powell, who has known of Armitage's role all along.
