There's an early part to the story....before Novak's article about a friend of Wilson.

The problem with that story is why the friend would ask Novak about Wilson in the first place. The same problem occurs with the Cooper calls. They were setting everyone up????

Good question that I don't know? It seems that it may have been a set up? I find it very hard to believe Novak would ask Wilson about his wife as relayed to him by the CIA but then Wilson just magically asked, without any reason,"What was it, CIA or senior administration?" then Novak said,"I misspoke"? Just something very odd about Wilson's and/or Novak's train of thought in that exchange?

This whole friend thing is just plain weird? I think Wilson is a nut-case. Maybe his contacts in Niger slipped him something or maybe he's smoking a bit too much wacky tobacky?
