KING: How did it even come up?



WOODWARD: Came up because I asked about Joe Wilson, because a few

days before, my colleague at the "Washington Post," Walter Pincus, had a

front page, saying there was an unnamed envoy -- there was no name given

-- who had gone to Niger the year before to investigate for the CIA if

there was some Niger-Iraq uranium deal or yellow cake deal.



I learned that that ambassador's name was Joe Wilson, which was, you

know, Wilson eventually surfaced...



KING: I see.



WOODWARD: ... I guess a few weeks later. So I said to this source,

long substantive interview about the road to war. You know, at the end

of an interview like this, after you do an interview on television, you

might just shoot the breeze for a little while. And so, I asked about

Wilson, and he said this.



KING: I see.



WOODWARD: Most kind of off-hand.



KING: All right.



WOODWARD: One of those things. And so I -- I didn't think much of it.



KING: What did Libby say when you were with him? Was that a more

complete discussion?



WOODWARD: No. Now this is what's interesting. And I had two --

one phone conversation and one long interview with Libby during this

period. I had questioned lists that had hundreds of questions, one of

them Joe Wilson's wife. I had no recollection that I asked about Joe

Wilson's wife. I'm taking extensive notes. Libby said nothing about

Joe Wilson's wife or about this in any way at that time.



So if he was involved in something like this, at least he decided --

when I say this, somehow outing her -- he decided not to converse with

me about it. But because it's on a question list, and this is why

Fitzgerald was turning over rock.



He said, "Well, is it possible you asked -- in other words, that you

conveyed to Libby that you know Joe Wilson's wife worked in the CIA?

Because it's on a question list."



And my sworn testimony is that it's possible. I simply don't recall

it, and he certainly said nothing. But after long interviews and you

have long lists of questions, you can't really say, "Gee, did I ask that

or that." At least, two years later, I can't. Maybe the next day I

might have been able to.

1. Woodward to Libby: "Here is your reasonable doubt, buddy."

Doesn't really matter for the charges that have been brought against him though.
