Harlow was a CIA's press officer at the time and named as a source that confirmed it was Wilson's wife. > He knew of her identity via > questioning of Administration officials and he decided, for partisan > reasons, to reveal his discovery to the world. Theory is the leaker is Richard Armitage. He most likely heard it from Marc Grossman who went to school with Wilson and first accused Libby and Rove of the leak. Starting to look like a CIA anti-Bush attack job? He only knew her as Wilson's wife so opened a book of Who's Who in America and got her name from Wilson's bio. She was listed as Valerie Plame not Wilson. Yeah, top-secret identity. > 3.)

She wasn't covert, her cover was blown a decade ago. Novak felt it was newsworthy that Wilson and everyone else failed to mention how Wilson got the job. "I considered his wife's role in initiating Wilson's mission, later confirmed by the Senate Intelligence Committee, to be a previously undisclosed part of an important news story. I reported it on that basis." - Robert Novak An interesting point is that Fitzgerald knew the leaker 2-1/2 years ago, when he first interviewed Novak. Yet he and still hasn't charged or even mentioned his name. If it wasn't a crime what was he looking for all this time? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/message.cfm/forumid:5/messageid:211100 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
