So Rove heard it from Novak, interesting. So who did Novak hear it from.
That's it??? All the NY Times has is that Rove HEARD it was Plame from OTHER JOURNALISTS - he didn't CONFIRM IT and DIDN'T LEAK THE NAME TO NOVAK. The NY Times is grasping at straws.
This story is dead'r than fried chicken.
The revelation of Mr. Rove's conversation with Mr. Novak raises a question the White House has never addressed: whether Mr. Rove ever described that conversation, or his conversation with Mr. Cooper, with the president. Mr. Bush
George Tenet. Note Novak's reference to confirming Plame's identity with two government officials, one of whom could not be termed a partisan. Tenet was appointed by Bill Clinton. He mysteriously "resigned" last year, with little explanation as to the timing. Care to guess why?
