Yes, it would. Excellent observations. We may never get to the bottom of it all, but I think at least the outlines are clear.
Here's what I don't understand; if she was undercover, which I doubt, and if she had kept her "cover" secret, how on earth was Karl Rove suppose to know she was UNDERCOVER?
Is he just not to EVER mention anybody's name just in case they happen to be in the CIA?
And if he had known she was undercover, was he just not suppose to mention the part about her getting him the job for the trip? Wouldn't that have been great? Wilson could have kept saying Cheney sent him and nobody could have contradicted him, right?
Wilson is upset because Rove said she was fair game; well, she inserted herself into this story, so she certainly is fair game, IMO.
Just like John Kerry said Mary Cheney was fair game.
