This still occurred after Novak called Rove and told him about Plame/Wilson. In other words, neither Scooter Libby nor Rove were the source of the "leak", although both appear to have confirmed that Wilson's wife arranged for him to be sent to Africa, and that she worked for the CIA. Since even Plame's own boss admints she was not clandestine, and that even her neighbors knew she worked for the CIA, I am not sure how this constitutes a "leak".
Just more of the MSM trying to build another scandal where none exists.
Neither Libby nor Rove 'TOLD' anyone anything. They were receipients of a leak, not sources.
And, why is it that journalists get protection for their sources, they don't have to tell what they know - but officials of the US Gov't do? Why are they more powerful and privileged than the administration???
The PRESS was the SOURCE for this so-called 'leak.' In other words - it's the press chasing its own tail. Somewhere in their little mind, just like the dog, they KNOW it's only their own tail they're chasing -- but they love to hear themselves bark!!!
