I know it's the dailykos but it looks like the libs are starting to point fingers at Miller herself.
I wonder who the source was at the CIA that Miller spoke to?
They are trying to implicate Rove but knowing what we know about Larry Johnson and his VIPS people, this could be where the real leak happened.
Howlin, if you think it's worthy... ping your list.
But a very different scenario is being floated in the halls. Here it is: It's July 6, 2003, and Joe Wilson's now famous op-ed piece appears in the Times, raising the idea that the Bush administration has "manipulate[d]" and "twisted" intelligence "to exaggerate the Iraqi threat." Miller, who has been pushing this manipulated, twisted, and exaggerated intel in the Times for months, goes ballistic. . . So she calls her friends in the intelligence community and asks, Who is this guy? She finds out he's married to a CIA agent. She then passes on the info about Mrs. Wilson to Scooter Libby (Newsday has identified a meeting Miller had on July 8 in Washington with an "unnamed government official"). Maybe Miller tells Rove too -- or Libby does. The White House hatchet men turn around and tell Novak and Cooper. The story gets out.
interesting!
You ask teh right question. Since Miller was not a government employee, she doesn't have access to classified information. She can't be the original source. Someone told her.
I, too, am getting convinced that there is a serious problem at the CIA.
Yes, I remember that the Left hates Miller for pushing the WMD stuff. To me, it's more likely that Miller knew Plame from way back (Plame was working in the WMD branch of the CIA. Miller was the WMD expert for the Times.) Remember, somebody had to connect Wilson to the Times. They certainly wouldn't let me write an op-ed if I ask. To me, it's much more likely that Bush did the SOTU, Wilson shot his mouth off to his lefty friends about how he made this important trip and he didn't find anything, Miller or her colleagues lead him to Times and plenty of people knew who Miller and Plame were.
