When Cooper called Libby, he already knew that Plame was CIA. When Novak called Rove, he already knew that Plame was CIA.
Furthermore, Novak called CIA and they confirmed her CIA employment.
Which means, it was no secret. If it was secret, why would CIA confirm it to a reporter? Since, supposedly, she was working through a private company which provided cover, they could easily have said, no, she doesn't work here...
But they didn't. They said, yes, she's CIA.
When Fitz gets done investigating the guys who didn't out Plame, will he get around to investigating the people who did? Like, maybe, Wilson and Plame? Or, like, the guy at CIA who confirmed her employment to Rove?
No, Fitzy clearly does not care about the facts of who leaked Plames name (speculation is that it was armitage from State). But if you read the last court proceedings, from 5 May, it is really quite interesting. Fitzy does not believe Wilson was telling the truth in the NYTimes article; he said to the judge, he wants to enter the article into the proceedings as a means of demonstrating what caused the bruhaha regading plame, but he does not intend to vouch for the truthfulness of the article itself. Fitzy is admitting Wilson is a liar, but he doesn't care. he is on a witch hunt, truth and fact don't matter to him. He wants glory and he sees it by pleasing the democrats, both in the party and in the media. I can't believe the Judge is allowing this to proceed....but for the time being it is moving forward.
That fact seems to often be forgotten.
We also know that Wilson was reimbursed for his travel to Africa. Since his trip was not classified (after all, he wrote about it in great detail in his op-ed), I would expect that some sort of travel voucher was prepared and signed to authorize payment. It would be interesting to see the names on that travel voucher.
