Reader rebuts Associated Press story about Senators' disclosure of CIA agent's name

By Andrew Cochran

Received this from faithful reader Matthew Nolan: "The story on the right hand bar regarding Kerry and Lugar blowing the cover of a CIA agent is garbage. A simple Google search reveals this... Mr. Armstrong works for the Directorate of Intelligence and has been cited on numerous occasions. There's even an unclassified report of his available here from the CIA website. I realize the story isn't yours, but I believe it's garbage reporting from the AP and I would hope that you all would not give it the credit of inclusion on your blog." I note that the web link includes another link to Fulton Armstrong's bio. I've taken the story off the sidebar, and I think the AP owes the Senators an official retraction.
