Alas, indeed, as well as gosh and my oh my:
Alas for the conspiracy nuts, a joint investigation by Newsweek reporter Michael Isikoff and Nation editor David Corn revealed this past weekend that the person who initially leaked CIA employee Valerie Plame's name to columnist Bob Novak was, as many insiders suspected, Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, and not, as the conspiracy theorists believed deep in their hearts, White House adviser Karl Rove.Union Leader 30.Aug.06

The phrase "case closed" or one of its variants is getting used throughout the official stories on this. They don't say precisely which "case" that is, though.
It's a semantic trick, and essentially another form of deception, the pattern holding true from the get.
Win one tiny bit of an argument and pretend you won the whole thing.
Is it who told Novak? Done. Not Rove. Or better - not-Rove - Armitage the not-Rove.
Is it whether or not the vicious thugs running the US government followed through on their general behind-the-scenes bluff and swagger and hit the wife of someone who dared refute their lies?
That case is still open.
The moral profile of the Bush Administration purports to be about like that of a high school student body.
I don't think so.
The Israel Lobby is in panic mode, as are their Ultra-Masonic buddies in the public sector - frantically trying to stay ahead of an awakening America.
