Tenant's the one who authorized this stupid probe. If he's the guy who told Bob then he basically called for an investigation into himself. Pretty f'n dumb, but then, he is a Democrat.
It would have been nice of NYT to point out that the statute in question is very narrowly written and Wilson himself now says his wife was not a clandestine officer at the time of Novak's column (actually since '94).
If Fitzgerald ends up turning this thing around the Democratic CIA/Media circle jerk that started this mess I will laugh my ass off and name my next dog Rover in Karl's honor.
Of course, Tenet is just the obvious choice and I should have thought more about that. The CIA and State are crammed full of democrats. It's probably someone we never heard of. But you're right, it's not Tenet.
