A veritable treasure trove of useful links have been provided by the Left Coaster. This URL is worth bookmarking as it will get updated over time. Each FACT section contains one or more relevant links.

For example:

TALKING POINT: Valerie Plame (Joseph Wilson's wife) was not covert.
FACT: She was. (More here).

TALKING POINT: Karl Rove did not leak Valerie Plame's name.
FACT: Please. Her name was not a secret, her identity was (which is the issue here) and he leaked that. (Also see here and here and this one, where the singularly appaling stupidity of John Gibson, Andrew Napolitano and John Podhoretz is revealed on this particular talking point. How these people continue to get paid for their work is beyond me).

TALKING POINT: Karl Rove was "not the leaker".
FACT: Rove's attorney's statement and Cooper's email shows this claim is false. Rove did leak Plame's identity. (Whether or not this is found to be prosecutable is another matter).
P.S. Considering Rove was Nixon's henchman for dirty tricks, and has a long history of vile misbehavior and leaking secrets, this shouldn't exactly be a surprise to anyone.

TALKING POINT: Karl Rove did not reveal classified information.
FACT: A CIA agent's identity is considered classified.

1. Lib Talking Point: Hey, go argue with the FBI (ya right wing whack jobs)

They though there was a crime involved so they start investigated.

What's a matter Neo-con-jobs, don't you support the FBI? Why do you hate our country?
