IMHO, Novak lied thru his teeth as to who his source was. He hates this President and everyone in it and laid this at the administration's feet.

[theDentist]

Mebbe it was Mr. Deep Throat himself (Felt).

[My2Cents]

My money has always been on Joe Wilson.

[PilloryHillary]

I say Joe Wilson......but who knows?

If it's someone in the Administration, the New York Times will self destruct in a mass of contradictions:They howled for investigations, then suddenly said the investigation was ridiculous because no crime was committed. And of course if it's someone in the Administration, they will return to their howling.

This story is a landmark in at least one way: The MSM are condemning a whistleblower. Funny how they only do that when the whistle is being blown on someone in cahoots with a Clintonista.

[Moral Hazard]

I did, and I'm sorry for all the trouble it has caused. At least a New York Times reporter gets to go to jail over it though.

IIRC, she was already known as a CIA employee. I don't think she was ever an under cover operative (spy) though.

[Phantom Lord]

Joseph Wilson was the source.

[kaehurowing]

It was Joe Wilson.

[standing united]

The whole investigation started because the left thought that they could get the Bush Administration!

Now it looks as though they have caught there own, AGAIN!

The CIA is part of the administration .. is it not.

Who would know that Wilson's wife reccomended him for the job. To whom did the wife reccomend him? It had to be a CIA job. She had to reccomend her husband to someone who knew her and knew her husband. That means someone in the CIA.

Would the man in charge of picking the person to make the trip tell the presidents staff... I picked Wilson for this job becuase his wife told me to pick him?

At least one of the presidents staffers no doubt asked the person in charge of this at the CIA about who was piked to do the job. That person likely replied ,"Joe Wilson" Do you thihk that if the staffer asked why Wilson was picked the person who hired him would say... "His wife told me to hire him"

The leaker in my view is someone in the FBI that did not like Plume using her position to get choice jobs for her husband.

You can bet that if knowing who the leaker is could hurt George W. Bush.. the Times would have released that person's name before the judge finished asking.

Damn that Columbo, he's never around when you need him. Hey Barney!

[smoothsailing]

My money is on Plame herself.She had nothing to lose,everybody already knew.

From her point of view,it would finally make people pay attention to her, instead of her pompous self-absorbed husband.

[Publius6961]

Who cares?

[Tallguy]

I don't know who leaked, but the fact is we are going to find out very soon. Imagine: Deep Throat could keep his anonymity for over 30 years. Novak's 'source' will be known in less than 2.

"Who Leaked to Novak?"

IMHO this is not only the wrong question, it is the democrat/traitors attempt to divert attention from the real issue:

Who appointed a known partisan hack (Wilson) to do a non-investigation into WMD in Niger in the first place and why hasn't Wilson been prosecuted for obvious lies (even treason)?

The Wilson/Niger trip was a set up from the beginning. The Clintonoid hold overs in CIA and State picked one of their own to go whitewash the clear evidence that Saddam was trying to buy nuclear material from Niger. The clown "sipped tea and talked to a few government flunkies" and then wrote a hit piece which was illegally leaked to dim friendly news organizations. When they got caught they immediately turned to their allies in the MSM to stir up this so called controversy about Novak's source on Plame's identity.

Well, I think it's relevant that a partisan hack with zero expertize in the field is put on this kind of critical national security investigation by his "significant other." I also think it's a perfect irony that it is two MSM hacks from the NYT and Time Magazine who will end up taking the fall for the lefts vendetta against Novack.

I think the phrase "hoist by your own petard" is appropriate here. The historic reference for the origina of that phrase (http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/183500.html) is:

A petard is an explosive device used to break down doors or walls. Hence - hoist on ones... Used by Shakespeare in Hamlet 'For tis the sport to have the enginer / Hoist with his owne petar'. From the French 'péter' - to fart.

Yes, on the list. I'm hoping they aren't just going after "administration" contacts, but "intel" ones too. The extreme spinning of this Newsday article could be a fearful response. Notice the absence of discussion about the target Newsday article, for one.

BTW, How come this was leaked to the CIA leak preferred paper Newsday???
