From another site:

The issue ain't too complex. Bob Novak already reported that he had conversations with "two senior administration officials." So, someone leaked this stuff to him.

His latter-day explanation reeks of so much bullsh*t. (HE'S LYING.)

But IF he's lying and made up this whole story, he should never again write for any magazine or newspaper, ever again, in his life.

If he's NOT LYING, then someone (or persons) in the Bush Admin must go down.

It's not brain surgery.

Either Novak falls, or falls one or two "senior administration officials."

I don't know what logical deficiency befalls most human readers on this issue.

Politcs - the dirtiest game in town...Lord help us all.

We just pay for all of it.

Cheers.

I dunno JL. I don't think it's going to be as simple as what you've laid out.

In order to get to the Administration Officials, somebody (Novak) need to tell the investigators just WHO these officials are. Novak will never reveal his sources, so we may never know WHO/WHAT/WHEN,,, of course we've already figured out WHY.

It is very possible the Administration Officials are some hold over Rats from the Clintooon Admin. I will be anxious to hear what Sean Hannity has to say tonite. Rush spent more time defending himself today than covering the Wilsons.

It was interesting to listen to Bill Kristol tonight on Fox. He said that this is indicative of a civil war within the Admin - the "Bush Doves" (my words) slamming the "Bush Hawkes" (read Dick Cheney according to Kristol) for getting the Pres into the Iraq war with old (1998) intelligence. CIA could be involved with the smear too, as could State, according to Kristol.

I tend to think Bill knows a thing or two about backbiting administrative factions since I believe he was involved in such during GHW Bushe's admin.
