Actually July 9th was the date Joseph Wilson penned his op ed in the NY times, criticizing the W.H. on Uranium story. This BBC story is just a piggy back of the Op ed. It was 5 days after the op ed, that Novak was leaked on Valerie Plame. This is what was going on then.

Did Wilson's story mention a "CIA official?"

Yes, but the article sources a CIA official who claimed (as it now seems, incorrectly) that Wilson's report had been pushed up to the Whitehouse. This is the aspect of the report that warrants its reairing. One can't help but wonder if the CIA source was Wilson's wife.
