"and then his wife's job at the CIA just happens to gets 'leaked' by a senior person in SOME administration position..."
My gut tells me the source(s) was CIA itself, in CYA mode, after such a shoddy "probe." From his July piece, Novak spoke to "senior adm officials." Not "White House officials." Big difference. Reporters in Washington, for obvious reasons, always make the distinction.
Even FNC is not providing it's usual LIBERAL outting coverage. Just liberal spin crapola with a tad bit of conservative viewpoint thrown in. But very little reporting of a fraction of what FR has dug up.
