When I read the headlines, you know what I think? That Libby gave up Bush as the person who told him to leak Valerie Plame. When I read the headlines of the stories, I see the the AP and CNN stories attempting to make that impression with their headlines. What does one think of when they hear Libby and leak? Valerie Plame was what I thought of, and I'm sure most people did (though admittedly I could be wrong).
For this reason, I think the Fox story and headline are much more to the point than are the AP and CNN version. The Fox headline says what the leaks were about to clear up to the headline only readers what the story is really about. Moving the Plame paragraph up one is not a big deal and not much closer to front than in the other version.
The headline is key to me. The Fox headline is much more descriptive and to the point and not misleading in the least.
