#1 Actually, I think the Wilsons were lucky the judge dismissed this case so early in the process. Plame and Wilson would have been thoroughly eviscerated by a competent defense attorney. Court TV wept.

#2 Apathy meter has much too low a reading. "Plame is flamed?" The whole deal was like the Seinfeld episode about having a show about NOTHING.

#5 Good point, doc, having a good defense attorney work Joe and Val over in depositions (video-taped, of course) would have warmed the deepest cockles of my heart.

#6 Apathyyia? Never! No, no no.

WaPo sent me a supercalifragilisticexpiallidocious Breaking News Alert yesterday. The very first one they've sent me since... ~~Glasgow Airport was on fire~~ ~~Charlie Sheen got engaged~~ ~~Musharraf stormed the Red Mosque~~ Scooter Libby got commuted. Obsess much?

#7 'Plame lawsuit dismissed in CIA leak case'

"Plame's identity was revealed in a syndicated newspaper column in 2003..."

The fact that nobody was indicted, much less convicted, in "leaking" or "revealing" Plames' indentity proved unequivocally that she did NOT have Under-Cover status when the story was first published. The dismissal in the Wilson's civil suit underscores this fact. Of course, this does not stop the leftist media from continuing to refer to this melodrama as "The CIA "Leak" Case" when it was clear long ago there was nothing to leak. After all, that would put an end to speculations of...[Gasp]...a coverup at the highest levels.
