The left is salivating in hopes that Woodward got the information from Rove. However, this is tempered by the fact that, if nothing else, Woodward will protect his sources.
I believe Rove's lawyers have unequivocally denied that he is Woodward's source. Also, Rove has been very visible lately. Common sense tells me that he doesn't expect to be indicted, which is why he feels comfortable back in the spotlight.
Woodward has always bragged about his contacts within the CIA. When the final chapter is written in this inordinately stupid affair the name George Tenet will be writ large.
Kaus also thinks that Woodward's source is Colin Powell because Woodward said it was an EX=Adminstration official!! Whoever it is will NOT allow Woodward to tell the pubic!
If I'm not mistaken, Woodward already said it wasn't Rove. Some accounts have him saying it was a "former" administration official---which leaves open:
someone who was in the Bush administration, or
someone who was in the former administration (Clintoon)
Think Tenet, Powell, Hadley, etc.
