Don't know. But a determined Grand Jury would no doubt chase the story to it's conclusion.

In the end, it would be pretty funny if no source actually existed.

It would be funny if no source did exist and that's not beyond the possibility. Plames name was in "Who's Who in America" as working for the CIA long before the story broke. Wilson was also known for bragging about his wife's CIA career but he stated he never said she was undercover. How can anyone prove he didn't inadvertently leak the info and the media pretended to get it "confirmed" through administration sources?

Prior to all of the "leaking", Miller had interviewed Scott Ritter and was an embedded reporter with the unit tasked to search for Iraqi WMD.

While she never wrote the story of Wilson or Plame, she was intending to write one about lack of WMD and had requested that Ritter provide her with corroborating persons within the CIA.
