"What if it was Wilson himself who was the leaker?"

I actually believe he probably was. If it was someone in the administration, State Dept. or Pentagon, that person has already been dealt with and is just awaiting to be hung out to dry. I guarantee that the Depts have already done an investigation and knows exactly who leaked it and that's why they aren't real worried about it. After all, it was the President who stated he wanted to know who it was too.

I think it's very unlikely that Wilson was the one who leaked to Novak, but it's quite possible that he himself "outed" his wife at some earlier point in time, and that this entered into the gossip pipeline and was indirectly the source of the information that eventually got to Novak. Wilson is a yakker, and I wouldn't be surprised if he was the one who originally divulged his wife's CIA connection to someone.
