(2003-09-30) Plame Gate

Mike Allen on the PlameGate scandal involving Robert Novak's column leaking the name of a CIA agent (Valerie Plame, wife of Nigerian ambassador Joseph Wilson) as possibly given to him by White House sources. Yesterday, a senior administration official said that before Novak's column ran, two top White House officials called at least six Washington journalists and disclosed the identity and occupation of Wilson's wife... The only recipient of a leak about the identity of Wilson's wife who went public with it was Novak.
