I believe the LAT reported Plame worked at the desk next to Foley after the FBI investigation was first announced in Aug/Sept (?) 2003. Also, Foley retired very early during this scandal, denying his retirement was related. I thought he protested too much, ha ha ha. I've always wondered what he was hiding and why no one was focusing on his role.
Well Foley says the first he ever heard of her was the Novak article so the report that their desks were near eachother seems unlikely.
