Why did he "out" his wife by virtue of his NYTimes op-ed piece?

More interesting (to me), why hasn't Fitz investigated this little gem from the Vanity Fair article...the one with Wilson/Plame on the cover posing in their Jaguar. It refers to a conference which occurred right before Kristof's first article about a "former ambassador sent to Niger at the behest of the Vice President's office":

In early May [2003], Wilson and Plame attended a conference sponsored by the Senate Democratic Policy Committee, at which Wilson spoke about Iraq; one of the other panelists was the New York Times journalist Nicholas Kristof. Over breakfast the next morning with Kristof and his wife, Wilson told about his trip to Niger and said Kristof could write about it, but not name him.

Is Fitz not curious that Plame sat there at the table with a NEW YORK TIMES REPORTER as her husband described lied about his role in the Niger deal. I'm to believe he talked about his CIA work and she said nothing?! Or was she there to lend credibility to her husband's "leak" to Kristoff? Kristoff, by the way, has never denied he knew she was CIA prior to Novak's column.

It seems like Fitz is only interested in Libby and Rove. I am concerned because Matthews is spitting and looking delighted again when he says leak.

They think Rove is going down. Did you notice how sad Matthews looked last week and now he's happy again.

"Over breakfast the next morning with Kristof and his wife, Wilson told about his trip . . . "

It's not clear to me whose wife is being referred to, Kristof's or Wilson's.
