Here is what I am confused on:
Was he being asked when he found out Wilson's wife worked at the CIA and from whom, or was he being asked when he found out what her name was, and from whom? I ask this because I thought initially the question was about when was her name (as Valeria Plame) actually passed on, not just the fact that she worked at the CIA. Of course, this all gets back to the initial charge of the investigation of outing a covert agent, which never happened.

Was he being asked when he found out Wilson's wife worked at the CIA and from whom, or was he being asked when he found out what her name was, and from whom?I *think* you can ignore the exact details of how he found out who she was (her exact name, etc.). That's not at issue in the indictments. He was told by multiple official sources in June 2003 that Wilson's wife worked in the CIA.
The whole key to this thing is what he told the FBI and the GJ. He told the FBI that he was surprised by Russert asking about Wilson's wife. Surprised in that he, Libby, did not know she worked for the CIA. Apparently, Russert never asked about Wilson's wife.
