Earlier this week Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward disclosed that he testified under oath to Fitzgerald on Monday, November 14th, 2005 that a senior Bush administration official had casually told him in mid-June 2003 about CIA operative Valerie Plame's position as a CIA analyst on weapons of mass destruction.
Plame's identity was revealed in July 2003 by columnist Robert Novak.
Fitz had said that Libby was the first official known to have told a reporter about Plame in June of '03.
Woodward realized - after hearing that the indictment stated Libby disclosed his information on June 23 - that Libby was NOT the first official to talk about Plame to a reporter.
Woodward called his source, confirming that he had been told earlier in June '03, so therefor Libby was not the first to release the info.
Woodwards source said 'he or she' had no choice but to go to the Prosecutor. Woodward asked if he could be 'released' from confidentiality but the 'source' said only for purposes of discussing it with Fitzgerald, not for publication.
Woodward expressed surprise that Fitz hadn't contacted him earlier as his name showed up on various White House calendars, phone logs and other records during June-July '03.
Friday, Nov. 18, 2005; Special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald said in court filings that the ongoing CIA leak investigation will involve proceedings before a new grand jury, a possible sign he could seek new charges in the case.
If Fitzgerald doesn't go after the CIA or reporters he should be arrested.
