Maybe it is.
Here's my story. Wilson wrote a book. He gave a pre-press sneak peek of the book to a few reporters.
A reporter on MSNBC or CNN did an on air book review, marveling at the yellow cake scam. According to the reporter, Wilson gives all the credit for the book to his wife, Valerie Plame.
The reporter goes on. As she's talking, she says Wilson claims his wife is an under agent for the CIA, but refuses to give her name.
About a week later, a "leak" has been discovered.
The first printing of the book is put on hold. Later, there's a new book with a new title that screams "victim."
But I could be wrong.

From the Wall Street Journal:
Mr. Rove's attorney, Robert Luskin, last week denied that Mr. Rove had contacted Mr. Cooper last Wednesday (which Matt Cooper certainly said standing on the steps of the courthouse), and said that when Mr. Rove spoke to Mr. Cooper two years ago, "Karl didn't disclose Valerie Plame's identification to anyone. That's not a technical statement. That's as practical and direct as I can make it." He also told The Wall Street Journal that Mr. Rove had never asked any reporter to treat him as a confidential source in the matter, "so if Matt Cooper is going to jail to protect a source, it's not Karl he's protecting."
Now let's discuss this statement from this article:
"Cooper, according to an internal Time e-mail obtained by Newsweek magazine, spoke with Rove before Novak's column was published. In the conversation, Rove gave Cooper a "big warning" that Wilson's claims might not be entirely accurate and that it wasn't the director of the CIA or the vice president who sent Wilson on his trip. Rove apparently told Cooper that it was "Wilson's wife, who apparently works at the agency on WMD (weapons of mass destruction) issues who authorized the trip," according to a story in Newsweek's July 18 issue.
Where is the proof that Rove said that part of that sentence? For all we know, Cooper added that to the email himself......because everybody in D.C. knew where she worked. FGS, he is married to Mandy Grundwald and she sure as hell knew.
