Conspicuous by his absence from the list of "I didn't talk to Woodward" people is...
...Joe Wilson.
Now that I think of it, it would be a real bombshell if it turned out to be Wilson, for more reason than one. Wilson suggested the other day that the Composte ought to investigate Woodward because he was writing articles critical of the investigation, and did not disclose that he had been involved in the scandal himself.
Joe Wilson is not an administration official and I think an official is who Bob Woodward said he had talked with.
"Joe Wilson is not an administration official"
It all depends on how one defines "is," "administration official," and "sex."
Is this any way to run the greatest antion on earth? Playing twenty questions? Yes, we are nuts.
Dick Clark was in the admin during that time......
Joe Wilson is not an administration official and was furious with Woodward yesterday for not coming out with this information sooner. He wanted the Washington Post to punish him in some way.
Novak said everyone will have a good laugh when he names his source.
Dick Clark would fit that description.
Bob Woodward would as well. Maybe Clark was Woodward's source and Woodward proceeded to blab the news around town. He stated he told Pincus.
We all know there are no secrets; once the word was out, it would have spread like wildfire.
Ari Fleischer?
Will someone please ask . . . Richard Clarke or Colin Powell? No, they won't because dollars to donuts the leaker was one of these two fine gentlemen.
I believe Powell has been ruled out.
Dang. While I don't have any animosity toward the guy, it would be poetic justice if HE were the ultimate leaker in all this stuff.
Since Joe Wilson has feelings of aspirations and delusions, perhaps he "thinks" he was a member of the administration.
Powell's spokesman denied it.
That caught my eye. Woodward said that the source is no longer with the government, I believe.
Joe Wilson as a retired ambassador is a "former adminstration official"
I'll bet it's a Democrat. Woodward obviously wrote his book with the help of the Dem's - claiming that Bush had a secret deal with the Saudi's to lower gas prices. Perhaps it's Deaniac.
Nope. Ambassadors don't qualify as "administration officials". I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere.
If Woodward has no recollection; how does he know it was an Andministration official?
