I think Judith Miller told Scooter who told Rove.

Now I want to know who told Judith.

Who is most likely Novak's source?

Miller?

Now I want to know who told Judith.

Valarie Plame? Mandy Grunwald(spel?)?

On the other thread on this topic, Pukin Dog says PLAME herself told Judith Miller, which is why she went to jail -- she can't reveal her source without exonerating Rove.

Judith Miller wrote about WMDs, Plame analyzed WMDs. It is has also been speculated that Miller was familiar with Scott Ritter.

Who told Judith Miller???? And who is the "Ole Gray Ho" sheilding?
This has the Toon gangs fingerprints all over it.

"I think Judith Miller told Scooter who told Rove."

I've had similar thoughts. Reporters know who Plame is from gossip, whatever, they can't go to press with that so they call the WH etc. and ask leading questions.
(Andrea Mitchell admitted it was known in the political/cocktail circles who Plame was, where she worked etc.)

WH person(s) confirm who wifey is, where she works and the reporters can go to press with "White House officials" confirm/indicated etc.

The fact that Miller didn't take advantage of Rove's blanket release indicates Miller must have another source.

From another thread on this subject, and you may have already read this by now:

To: ohioWfan
Amid all the wondering about who first leaked Plame's name, I've come up with another (very plausible) candidate: Nicholas Kristof, NY Times columnist.
As you'll recall, Kristof's column in May, 2003 was the first to discuss Wilson's trip to Niger (without mentioning Wilson's name).

Well, I just went back and read the Vanity Fair article which featured the now infamous photo of Wilson and Plame in their Jaguar convertible. The article says:

In early May, Wilson and Plame attended a conference sponsored by the Senate Democratic Policy Committee [no partisanship here...no sireee!], at which Wilson spoke about Iraq; one of the other panelists was the New York Times journalist Nicholas Kristof. Over breakfast the next morning with Kristof and his wife, Wilson told about his trip to Niger and said Kristof could write about it, but not name him. At this point what he wanted, Wilson says, was for the government to correct the record... [I'm virtually certain the "with his wife" is referring to Wilson's wife, not Kristof's because she is mentioned as attending the conference, whereas Kristof's wife isn't].
The entire article gives one a good impression of Wilson's concerted effort to create an atmosphere where he would "just HAVE TO correct the record" by disclosing his role in the Niger trip.
But, I'd forgotten that SHE was there at the initial breakfast with Kirstof.

Now I'm wondering if KRISTOF is the source Judith Miller is protecting?!
