Tracking the Leak

[question everything]

The WSJ http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/retro_libby0510.html?mod=special_coverage has a nice graphic

It is now a public document, but if it becomes a subscription only, here is the text:

Libby finds out:

- June 11, 2003: A senior CIA officer tells Libby that Wilson's wife worked at the CIA and was believed responsible for his trip to Niger.
- June 11 or 12: An unnamed Under Secretary of State indicates to Libby that Wilson's wife worked at the CIA and was involved in planning the trip.
- June 12: Vice President Cheney tells Libby that Wilson's wife worked at the CIA, information Libby feels Cheney learned from the CIA.
- Between early June and July 8, 2003: An Assistant to the Vice President for Public Affairs tells Libby that Wilson's wife worked for the CIA.

Libby tells others:

- June 23, 2003: Meets with Judith Miller of the New York Times and tells her Wilson's wife may work at the CIA.
-July 7: Tells the White House Press Secretary that Wilson's wife worked at the CIA.
-July 8: Meets with Miller and tells her he believes Wilson's wife worked at the CIA. Says he should be characterized in any story as "former Hill staffer."
-July 10: Speaks with Tim Russert of NBC to complain about press coverage. Libby doesn't discuss Wilson's wife.
-July 10 or 11: A senior White House official, identified only as Official A, tells Libby he spoke with columnist Robert Novak about Wilson's wife and the trip.
-July 12: Confirms in a call with Matthew Cooper of Time magazine that he has heard that Wilson's wife was involved in Wilson's trip.
-July 12: In a phone call with Miller, again discusses Wilson's wife and the fact that she worked at the CIA.

=========

So why can't they send Novak to Abu Ghraib, or even to GTMO to get the name of "Official A?"

Or why can't Libby name him/her? What, is he going to go down defending... whom, exactly?
