A May 30 NewsBusters post by Brad Wilmouth uncritically repeats Karl Rove's claim that Richard Armitage "was the actual leaker" of Valerie Plame's identity to reporters.
As we've detailed when NewsBusters has previously made this claim, Rove did discuss Plame's identity with reporters prior to Robert Novak reporting it in July 2003. Armitage was Novak's main source, but Rove confirmed it to Novak.
