Plame Opus
That's how The Booman Tribune describes the latest article by Murray Waas.

To be honest, I haven't read it yet but I will shortly. It apparently describes in some detail the events around the Plame affair, specifically how Plame was just a small part of an overarching program to protect Bush from charges of trumping up WMD claims in the lead up to the war. It's longish, but apparently a must read.

And how has our intrepid news media reacted? I'll let Dan Froomkin say it for me:
But in the traditional media, the reaction has been utter and complete silence -- both after Waas's well-documented March 2 story, and again today. There's not one word about it in a single major outlet this morning.

And that's just not acceptable. Waas's fellow reporters at major news operations should either acknowledge and try to follow up his stories -- or debunk them. It's not okay to just leave them hanging out there. They're too important.
