The Motivation

This is what the whole of the Plame Affair is all about: a smear campaign brought on by political motivations against critics, and the disastrous results of that campaign. Scooter Libby's office has let slip that Libby was so incenced with Ambassador Wilson's criticism that he has closely monitored him for the past 2 years. Motivation? There it is. Libby, of course, was part of The Iraq Group with Rove and many others. Complicit in Libby's obsession? Possibly.
