Reading the Washington Post Plame story today focusing on this State Department memo, doesn’t it seem as obvious as ever that someone at State was Novak’s first source? He has described the source as a “senior administration official” who was “no partisan gunslinger.” That doesn’t sound like Ari Fleischer or Dan Bartlett. It sounds awfully like Powell or someone close to him. Powell got the memo seven days before Novak went into print with Plame’s name. For what it’s worth, Luskin says Rove hadn’t seen or heard about the memo until investigators mentioned it to him.
