"Barnes says it's still unknown who The Source is... "

And it sounds like Novak is not going to reveal source #1. Do we have any reason to believe that Libby is - or is not - that source? Hume MUST ask Novak if Libby was his original source. If not, and if Novak learned Plame's name from info provided by Wilson himself for Who's Who, it will be somewhat embarrassing for Wilson and - to a lesser extent - Fitz. At any rate, there is no evidence of a grand conspiracy of "all the president's men" - to "get" Wilson.

Didn't Libby provided a signed waiver for Judith Miller and the other male reporter to release his name. It has been reported that he did so at least a year before they finally came forward. Would he provide a waiver to two other reporters and not Novak?

From the Libby Motion to Compel dated March 17, 2006 page 27:

This week, Vanity Fair, the Washington Post and The New York Times, as well as other media outlets, reported that Richard Armitage, former Deputy Secretary of State, told Bob Woodward of the Washington Post that Ms. Wilson worked for the CIA. There has been media speculation that Mr. Woodward’s source and Mr.Novak’s source are the same person. If the facts ultimately show that Mr. Armitage or someone else from the State Department was also Mr. Novak’s primary source, then the State Department (and certainly not Mr. Libby) bears responsibility for the “leak” that led to the public disclosure of Ms. Wilson’s CIA identity.
