What we want for Fitzmas

Let's revisit this:

It is still not publicly known who first told the columnist Robert D. Novak the identity of the C.I.A. officer, Valerie Wilson. Mr. Novak identified her in a column on July 14, 2003, using her maiden name, Valerie Plame. Mr. Fitzgerald knows the identity of this source, a person who is not believed to work at the White House, the lawyers said.

We think Scooter Libby -- Salon says Rove -- was Novak's corroborating source. We believe Novak told Patrick Fitzgerald who this other senior administration official was. Judith F. Miller apparently got the name from someone besides Scooter. So who could it be? Didn't/doesn't work at the White House? Check. Senior administration official? Undersecretary of state for arms control at the time. Arms control? That was Plame's brief. Miller's too. Clearance to see classified State Department memo? You bet. Friendly with Miller? Visited her in jail. Connected to Cheney? Big time. Loaned him John Hannah, in fact. Called before grand jury? Unknown, but his ex-boss, Colin Powell, was.
