A quick update:
Valerie Plame's lawsuit dismissed
[ QUOTE ]
U.S. District Judge John D. Bates dismissed the case on jurisdictional grounds and said he would not express an opinion on the constitutional arguments. Bates dismissed the case against all defendants...

I can't wait to see how this gets spun by administration loyalists. I'm guessing this will somehow be interpreted as "proof" that Plame wasn't covert.

One of the first things a judge is going to do is decide whether or not he has jurisdiction. If he doesn't then it doesn't proceed. Very simple and logical actually.
