The OP requires that we take Armitage's word as gospel, which is extremely difficult to do when Novak disputes his "aw shucks" story. It takes very little imagination to contemplate the role of Armitage then and now to consider other possibilities more consistent with the DOJ investigation as it was unfolding.
My guess is that Armitage was the Ace card waiting to be played if Rove was about to be indicted. That would be a reasonable assumption given the circus environment involving Rove up to the magically disappearing indictment.
I didn't bother with this thread until now because of the obvious problems with the OP and the partisan nature of it. I only post now to give an example as to why the jury may still be out on the whole Plame/Wilson investigation.
I am not convinced of the veracity of Novak, but only a fool would buy what Armitage now has to sell without a single doubt.
