OK...here's my theory and I read many Nancy Drew books in my youth so this comes with some background.

Put yourself in the perp's shoes. All the left has thought about for months was Fitzmas. The evil elf of Fitzmas was to be Cheney.

Now Fitzmas is starting to fizzle. The left refers to the Woodward/Novak leaker as Mr. X (clever, huh). So what better way for CNN to plant the suspicions that Cheney is the evil neo-con leaker than with a big X.

I know if I this subtle message I would think...hmm. Cheney...X.. Mr X!!! evil neocon leaker!!

LOL! I LOVED Nancy Drew also! You got everything right except Cheney is not a neocon......neocons are Jewish...it's a derrogative term for Jews who's families WERE leftists Communists, Marxists, Leninists, have seen the errors of their ways and now are conservative. Chene is not Jewish and he has ALWAYS been a conservatve.
