I'm wondering who everyone thinks the actual leaker is.

*sigh*

Wilson himself. He had his wife's name and CIA status right on his own website. It was for every one in cyberspace to see. It was long before the Rove e-mail.

This was reported today on FOX - It was on "The Big Story" with John Gibson.

Without a doubt it was Wilson. What I can't figure out is why anyone would think Karl Rove would give Cooper permission to disclose that he was the leaker? If I were Rove, I would come out and say "I did not have sex with that woman, Valerie Plame" and leave it at that.

If true and since presumably Wilson learned of his wife's identity from Plame herself, then it is Plame who revealed her identity to Wilson and Wilson who in turn revealed her identity to the world, thus making both of them guilty of revealing the identity of a 'secret' government agent. If it is a crime to reveal the identity of a secret agent, then presumably it is still a crime even for the agent herself to do the revealing.
