"When They Knew"

"As the investigation tightens into the leak of the identity of covert
CIA operative Valerie Plame, sources tell TIME some White House
officials may have learned she was married to former ambassador Joseph
Wilson weeks before his July 6, 2003, Op-Ed piece criticizing the
Administration. That prospect increases the chances that White House
official Karl Rove and others learned about Plame from within the
Administration rather than from media contacts. Rove has told
investigators he believes he learned of her directly or indirectly from
reporters, according to his lawyer."-from the TIME magazine story. Susan Hu's post on Booman Tribune has a longer excerpt, if you have trouble with the link to TIME.
