Then target the journalists/media. So far, (it may yet change) this looks
to be something they have cooked-up and are perpetuating. The media brought
up Plame first. As far as I have seen reported, Rove merely said “I’ve
heard that same rumor too”. Then the media (and the Rove-haters) equated
that to “confirmation”. Any other reasonable and prudent person would agree
that all Rove is guilty of is admitting to hearing the same rumor. Based on
that evidence alone, anyone who equates that to confirmation is being
patently unreasonable and imprudent.

Your timeline is flawed. The White House requested info about the
Wilsons on 7 July 2003. Rove ''leaked'' to Novak on 8 July 2003.

Where and when did anyone in the media report that Mrs. Wilson was a
CIA UC prior to Novak's piece?
