Isn’t it the Wilson team that is moving the goal posts? Initially, this story was about an orchestrated government conspiracy to feed reporters misleading information so as to intentionally expose a top secret CIA agent in order to damage a whistle-blower and intimidate others.

Now this story is about whether Karl Rove answered a question from a reporter truthfully, regarding a false claim made by Wilson who didn’t conduct a serious investigation into anything, and whose wife may or may not have been undercover in recent years.

Reporters are outraged that Rove didn’t hide from them what he knew to be the facts, didn’t say: “Sorry, I can’t comment” — which is, of course, what Washington reporters always hope to hear from their sources.
