Looks like we MAY know who the original Novak source is.....found this on a blog...

And, per the summary (p. 5), it will be a bit harder for Joe Wilson and his many defenders to sustain the notion that his wife was not involved with selecting him for this trip:

...on or about June 11, 2003, Libby was informed by a senior officer of the CIA that Wilson’s wife was employed by the CIA and was believed to be responsible for sending Wilson on the trip.

IIRC, it appears that Libby told Ari Fleischer about Ms. Plame on July 7, which is the day that phone logs show Novak calling Ari. Surely that adds to the possibility that Ari was Novak's first source.

Hmmmmmm.

I thought Novak has said his source "wasn't anybody in the WH".

THAT is truly interesting, Dog, because I heard Ari's name mentioned today and I think it came from a reporter asking a question to Fitz, but by then, Fitz had baffled me with BS. I was lost in the muddy water.

HMMMMMMMM is right! When did Ari resign?

Ari didn;t resign until July, 2003.

May be the reason Ari decided to leave his WH job.....

I thought I read/heard that Novak said when his source is known, we will all have a laugh. Could he have heard it from Wilson (that would make me laugh) and then confirmed it with Ari?

The libs have been throwing his name around for months
