JPol also got this from the press conf. today: “Wilson says he has been told of a series of White House meetings held in March of 2003 (four months before he wrote his NYT op-ed piece) in which a decision was made “to do a work-up on Wilson” (meaning dig up as much info as possible in preparation for running an operation against him). He says he has been told that at least one high-level person, Scooter Libby (Dick Cheney’s chief of staff) participated in the meetings.”
