Other good Plame entries to check out

Several other bloggers have some good information on the Plame situation.

Billmon notes that from the way the Washington Post story is phrased, it appears likely that the person they spoke with may well be George Tenet, and that he knows who the White House officials that leaked the information are.

Kevin Drum offers a solid recap of what has now been revealed in the last 24 hours, and there's some excellent discussion of the implications of this turn of events in his comments section.

Mark Kleiman offers some good analysis of the story, plus he has links to his excellent earlier work when the story first broke, and to several other resources as well that are worth checking out.

And, of course, Josh Marshall is on top of the story and the media reaction to it. He also has an excellent interview with Joseph Wilson (Plame's husband), whose article about his mission to Niger triggered the firestorm earlier this summer over the President's State of the Union Address, which is the incident that the outing of Plame is said to be in retalliation of.

Marshall also notes that, while some of the stories are reporting that the White House have denied the allegations that someone from the White House was responsible for the leak, the answers that were given when Scott McClellan, the Press Secretary, was asked about it, were really little more than "non-denial denials".

Wow...this scandal is really exploding. Thanks for all the great links. I am trying not to get my hopes up, but this could be the smoking gun we have been waiting for.
