Plame Outing: Rove to Ari to Miller to Novak back to Rove?

[stopbush]

I'm guessing this is how it went down: Rove hatched the plot but got Ari to do his dirty work. Ari channeled the info to Miller (possibly through a third party) - bouyed in RW circles as a trusted source by her lapdog Chalabi-fed WMD articles in the NYT - passed the info to Novakula. Novakula makes it a round trip by calling Rove (the original source of the info) to confirm. They figure they'll let the old fart do their smearing and outing for them. But they didn't count on him spilling his guts.

Plausible?

2. Very Plausible

either way, Rove will be dealt with.

3. "nothing but secret"?

You know, like the basketball thing?

4. This is the best estimate I have seen so far; the fact that Rove was

in to testify more than once and there was attention on Ari, then Miller won't talk, and Novak is quiet is veddy eentedesting. (an old "Laugh In" line).

5. Problem with that is Novak said

it was 2 white house officials, and they came to him with the info.
