If everyone knew Armitage was the leak in 2003
Can any of the administration's defenders please explain why John Ashcroft felt the need to recuse himself? Fitx wasn't even brought in until that happened, but why would Ashcroft feel a conflict with Armitage?

1. and why didn't the White House just admit it then?
why did they play dumb and silent? Nah, Armitage is just a diversion.

3. Colin Powell
is up to his freaking neck in this. The MSM is reluctant to hound Powell. If any other 'top dog' in *'s admin number 2 man was the leak the MSM would be hounding him/her with "what did you know and when did you know it"

4. Armitage tells Powell 10/1/2003 Ashcroft recuses 12/30/2003
Unless I am wrong, these are the dates. No way it took 3 months for the Armitage news to get to Ashcroft. Ashcroft must have heard about Rove in 12/2003. Rove worked on Ashcroft campaign.
