"After hearing Mr. Novak's account, the person who has been briefed on the matter said, Mr. Rove told the columnist: "I heard that, too."
Interesting NYTimes got this leak.
If true, this would make Rove Novak's leak # 2. Novak said this "official" said, "Oh, you know about that."
So, who is Novak's leak # 1?
Tennant or Foley. Neither is a "partisan gunslinger". Didn't Novak represent one of his sources as being familiar with the CIA?
Rove's source would've been Tennant. Or Judith Miller...
Interesting they should put this in there .. since she is involved somehow because she's sitting in jail for it
Also interesting the last paragraph about Rove having a say in the next USSC pick
Interesting. It would also mean Rove heard it from someone else before he heard it from Novak. Maybe they both asked the same people about it.
