Not coincidentally, Wilson and his wife Plame made 6 phone calls to Washington journalists that day...both claiming to work for the White House (only somewhat true).

Very interesting. I would not be surprised if Wilson and Plame "leaked" the info to six friendly reporters themselves. I tend to think they used an intermediary to approach Novak, though, because Novak's description of his source as "no partisan gunslinger" doesn't seem to me to fit Wilson. Apparently there was more than one source spreading the information around. One of Novak's articles describing his source as "a senior administration official" also says that Clifford May had heard the same information from "a non-government source", which May's own article describes as "someone who formerly worked in the government".
