:hi: "Matalin still spinning,:crazy: issuing falsehoods on Plame case
Summary: On Fox News' Hannity & Colmes,:crazy: Republican strategist Mary Matalin falsely claimed that special counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald said "that no crime was committed" in the alleged leak of former CIA agent Valerie Plame's identity and that former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV was "flat-out lying" in his 2003 New York Times op-ed."

"Media Matters for America has noted numerous times (for example, here and here), when Fitzgerald announced the indictment of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby on charges of perjury and obstructing the grand jury's efforts to investigate the alleged leak of Plame's identity, he explained that he had been unable to determine whether the alleged leak itself constituted a violation of the law, not that a crime had not been committed, as Matalin asserted. Also, while the CIA report on Wilson's findings is still classified, the Senate Intelligence Committee disclosed much of its contents in its 2004 "Report on the U.S. Intelligence Community's Prewar Intelligence Assessments on Iraq." The descriptions contained in the committee's report indicate that the findings and version of events Wilson disclosed to the CIA did not contradict those detailed in his op-ed".
