The problem is, they're all pretty unlikely explanations. Because nowhere in any of them was it at any point necessary to reveal Valerie Plame's CIA status. Not by Novak, and not by any senior level officials.

It does make sense:

"Why was Joseph Wilson, a vocal critic of this administration, chosen to go on a trip to Niger to inquire about Iraq seeking uranium?"

"Because his wife suggested him."

Actually Plame's boss, Alan Foley, the recent retiree, at the farm probably planned/approved this "wet" operation to harm our administration.

Plame and Wilson were probably in on this "wet" operation from the beginning. We are starting to find out about their long time DNC connections and in particuliar the bent one, Bubba Clintoon.
