[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jay the Obscure: [QB] [QUOTE]Bush Administration Is Focus of Inquiry CIA Agent's Identity Was Leaked to Media ----- The intentional disclosure of a covert operative's identity is a violation of federal law. The officer's name was disclosed on July 14 in a syndicated column by Robert D. Novak, who said his sources were two senior administration officials. Sources familiar with the conversations said the leakers were seeking to undercut Wilson's credibility. They alleged that Wilson, who was not a CIA employee, was selected for the Niger mission partly because his wife had recommended him. Wilson said in an interview yesterday that a reporter had told him that the leaker said, "The real issue is Wilson and his wife." A source said reporters quoted a leaker as describing Wilson's wife as "fair game." The official would not name the leakers for the record and would not name the journalists. The official said there was no indication that Bush knew about the calls. It is rare for one Bush administration official to turn on another. Asked about the motive for describing the leaks, the senior official said the leaks were "wrong and a huge miscalculation, because they were irrelevant and did nothing to diminish Wilson's credibility." Wilson, while refusing to confirm his wife's occupation, has suggested publicly that he believes Bush's senior adviser, Karl C. Rove, broke her cover. Wilson said Aug. 21 at a public forum in suburban Seattle that it is of keen interest to him "to see whether or not we can get Karl Rove frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs."
