Nuggets/Qs from the docs

[The Witch]

"A number of classified documents from the CIA were faxed from the Office of the Vice President to the personal attention of LIBBY and another person in the Office of the Vice President."
What other person?

"The Under Secretary of State orally advised LIBBY in the White House that, in sum and substance, Wilson's wife worked at the CIA."
Who was the Under Secretary of State?

"On or about June 12, 2003, LIBBY was advised by the Vice President of the United States that Wilson's wife worked at the Central Intelligence Agency in the Counterproliferation Division."
By the Vice President? And wasn't there a talking point that they thought she was in a different division?

"LIBBY spoke by telephone with his then Principal Deputy... That official asked LIBBY whether information from Wilson's trip could be shared with the press... LIBBY responded that there would be complications at the CIA in disclosing that information publicly, and that he could not discuss the matter on a non-secure telephone line."
Who's the Principal Deputy?

4. And who is "Official A"?

"on or about July 10 or July 11, 2003, Libby spoke to a senior White House official (“Official A”) who advised Libby of a conversation Official A had earlier that week with columnist Robert Novak in which Wilson’s wife was discussed as a CIA employee involved in Wilson’s trip. Libby was advised by Official A that Novak would be writing a story about Wilson’s wife;"

5. Answers.

1) Dick Cheney
2) Don't know
3) Cheney was the source of the info
4) Libby knew that she was covert, and outed her anyway.


Couple of other nuggets, page 7 section 16, "LIBBY had lunch with the then WH Press Sec and advised the Press Sec that Wilson's wife worked at the CIA and noted that such information was not widely known"...And we all know who was Press Secretary back then, ARI FLEISCHER. Did Ari have apprporiate clearance for this info?

He spoke to Judy Miller on numerous occasions about Valerie Plame, but she didn't write a thing about it? Why not?
