Ah, I missed that the first time.
Royce is the author of this article: Columnist Blows CIA Agent's Cover. Always overlooked though it was named in the first announcements along with Novak's article as a target.
Are the officials here that Waas refers to the same that spoke to Novak? And is it Royce that's feeding Waas this information from Royce's contacts, airing something he can't write in Newsday itself?
Newsday was involved in another leak: the subpoena list that named many journalists from Andrea Mitchell to Jeff Gannon.
Thielmann, Foley, maybe people from the offices of Tenet and Powell might have been spinning. BTW, reading the Newsday article again - is Wilson a current intelligence official?
