Elliot Abrams: How is he involved in the outing of Plame?

[cynatnite]

I've heard the name tossed around in connection, but I don't understand how he fits. The searches I've conducted have had little results.

Thanks

1. Cooper said he talked to one more person...

the "Africa person" in the administration. That just happens to be Abrams.

2. Plame is in the State Dept memo Powell was carrying around

So who at State put the memo/report together and who with clearances to read it in the WH would be in on reading it ? His profile

and jobs relating to the War in Iraq suggest the neocon connections. Rather obvious after that.

4. He sure does make an interesting addition to the rest of the criminals

Site is now bookmarked. I haven't seen it before. Thanks.

I'll be honest, I haven't read much on Iran-Contra, but it does seem that all the major players seem to have bounced back quite remarkably.
