This one is interesting. This guy knew Joseph Wilson well enough to know that his wife was a "deep cover" operative. What the hell does that mean? It's a secret but if you know the husband, it's not? Alrighty.
What kind of deep cover involves leaving your house and driving to Langley for work every day? Maybe her specific job at the CIA was secret but where she worked sure wasn't. And it sounds like anyone who knew these people and had basic reasoning skills could figure out where Plame worked.
BTW, you could dig up about 300 million Americans who didn't know where she worked before any of us ever knew her name, but the issue is how many people did know where she worked prior to this 'outing' that technically were not supposed to. How much of a secret was this thing before Novak's column.
I'd like to know who Judith Miller is hiding. Not to play conspiracy theorist but if Wilson and Plame knew the truth was coming out about his trip, his "whistleblowing" column, and how he got his job (his wife abusing her job) - they might've both been in a lot of trouble. Something to think about. I still don't see reporters going to the mattresses for Karl Rove.
