Yeah, he did go earlier, in 2002.
The Wilson story about the leak of his wife's name to the Press was made around the 27th or 28th of September of 2003. I was contemplating the possibility of LeHane, who left the Kerry campaign on Sept. 15th, of possibly being behind, or at least setting the whole leak thing in motion sometime before he resigned. He left the campaign in a huff. It wasn't something that was planned.
