American Entropy: Rove was informed by Novak, who told Novak and Rove b4 Novak

Rove was informed by Novak, who told Novak and Rove b4 Novak

First off, I'll be gone all weekend so visit my blogroll on the LHS of the screen.

Karl Rove, the White House senior adviser, spoke with the columnist Robert D. Novak as he was preparing an article in July 2003 that identified a C.I.A. officer who was undercover, someone who has been officially briefed on the matter said.

So this is nothing new, I think Judith Miller reported this a week ago, only not so accurately. But what is interesting is this

After hearing Mr. Novak's account, the person who has been briefed on the matter said, Mr. Rove told the columnist: "I heard that, too."

So he already knew that and I must speculate he told Miller, who told Cooper...

And also, Rove told Matt Cooper

Rove told Cooper that Wilson's trip had not been authorized by "DCIA"--CIA Director George Tenet--or Vice President Dick Cheney. Rather, "it was, KR said, Wilson's wife, who apparently works at the agency on wmd [weapons of mass destruction] issues who authorized the trip."

Visit here for further discussion.

But the question is when, and did, Bush know this; and still who leaked?
