when will WaPo report the Plame / Iran story?

viget in the comments re Tom Edsall's absurd comments trying to justify why WaPo hasnt reoported that Plame was working in Iran:
"Here's my bet. It's called Pincus HAS already looked into this, and wanted to report on it, but the editors and administration 'minders' *cough*lil'Debbie*cough* have put the kibosh on this story.

I'm sure Pincus has been waiting for 3 years to tell this story. Now, maybe he finally will.

And the "confirming sources"? That's BS, I'm sure Pincus and/or Priest have the sources already lined up. They "need time" to save face and make it look like that they're playing catch-up right now, in Libby's words "as if hearing it for the first time."

How much you want to bet this story has been written for at least two years?

My prediction: Sunday A1 above the fold Byline: Pincus&Priest."
and he has an alternate theory here
