"according to the officials, who have reviewed classified debriefing reports based on the interrogations. . ."

"American officials . . ."

Probably from Valerie Plume.

"Probably from Valerie Plame."

I'm surprised no writers have written about the Vanity Fair piece. It's quite interesting...reading through the lines... Wilson was trying to set up a gold mining deal with the Niger Govt, his second wife was a French diplomat, etc. etc. An no mention of his work on the Kerry Campaign, and little discussion about his Saudi and Rock Creek Corporation connections.
