He has stated his source was not from the Bush WH

"Wilson never worked for the CIA, but his wife, Valerie Plame, is an Agency operative on weapons of mass destruction. Two senior administration officials told me Wilson's wife suggested sending him to Niger to investigate the Italian report"

from Mission to Niger

If you want to believe your crap, fine. But don't try to get me to believe it.

Larry, administration officials and WH officials are not one and the same and Novak later said it was not the WH. If someone works at one of the agencies like, say, the CIA, they can be attributed as "administration officials" anonymously.

BTW, I don't appreciate your language. Your labeling my fact-filled posts as "crap" speaks volumes to your disdain for the truth, IMO.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 : (CLIFFORD MAY KNEW ABOUT PLAME'S CIA CONNECTION THROUGH FORMER GOVERNMENT SOURCE BEFORE NOVAK ARTICLE CAME OUT - HIS SOURCE? A DEMOCRAT) Clifford May writes in National Review Online that Plame's CIA connection "wasn't news to me. I had been told that--but not by anyone working in the White House. Rather, I learned it from someone who formerly worked in the government and he mentioned it in an offhand manner, leading me to infer it was something that insiders were well aware of." - The Corner September 30, 2003 Scroll down for May's comments.
(* Freepnote: May went on to say today that it was a democrat who told him Plame's employer in order to convince him that Wilson isn't as far left as May thought. May said this democrat told him before Novak's column was written.)

Hmmm... could it be.... Ray McGovern? Ray's the guy who flat out said he "knows" Wilson's wife is a "deep cover operative" and is "running" covert agents on WMD- he went WAY farther than Novak did. Indeed, so did Newsday. Novak never said she was covert- that info came from the liberal press and with a 527 associated with John Kerry's campaign.

Incidently, Ray McGovern of "Veteran Intelligence Preofessionals for Sanity" is associated with the Kerry campaign. And with Joe Wilson obviously.
