Like I have mentioned before, it was Chris Lehane that Wilson met with in May of that year, who asked him to join the Kerry campaign. It was also Lehane who shopped the story to media and set up the article in Vanity Faire and the the NYT article. The story had received little attention prior to the hook up with Chris Lehane, the infamous Democrat dirty trickster. This whole campaign has the look of a typical Lehane project.

I agree. I would love to see him exposed.

It does smell like a possible Lehane job. I need to review the chronology on Lehane's links to Kerry and Wilson. Here's one thread I archived where mass55th suggested that line of thought:

Spouse of outed CIA officer signs on with Kerry

I was thinking that perhaps Chris LeHane got the ball rolling. He resigned from Kerry's campaign around September 15th of last year. The Wilson story broke around the 27th or 28th of September 2003. No proof, but it sounds like something LeHane would do.

The Wilson story about the leak of his wife's name to the Press was made around the 27th or 28th of September of 2003. I was contemplating the possibility of LeHane, who left the Kerry campaign on Sept. 15th, of possibly being behind, or at least setting the whole leak thing in motion sometime before he resigned. He left the campaign in a huff. It wasn't something that was planned.

IIRC the Plame story actually broke a bit earlier than this in 2003, in July, which means if LeHane left on September 15 he would've still been with Kerry as that story was breaking.
