If Ari had already told Gregory, why was Gregory, Matthews and Shuster making out like Rove leaked her name?

[Mr. K]

That was rhetorical, right? (you know the answer)

I suspect they were trying to set up Karl Rove for the fall. Even after Libby was indicted, Matthews and Schuster kept insisting Rove was going to be indicted....which suggests to me that even the best lathed plans can go awry.'

Matthews wife was news anchor at channel 7 in DC for over 20 years, and she and Matthews were in Washington Society, so I can't believe they had never heard of Joe and Valerie Plame Wilson! Those two egotists (the Wilsons), I think, would want to be noticed wherever and whenever they could.

I do believe Andrea Mitchell spoke the truth when she said 'reporters knew Wilson's wife worked at the CIA', and I will not be surprised if it is revealed, but denied, that Tim Russert did, in fact, know of and about Valerie Plame. His wife is an investigative reporter with Vanity Fair and other publications, so they move in the "right" social circles in DC also. I can't believe they didn't take a look at the Wilson's when Joe's article that started all of this was published!
