Novak’s Reference To Ask Bush Who Leaked

In conclusion:

Jeff Gannon was planted by the administration to disseminate their
talking points unfettered by any journalism ethics or investigation
shortly after the Iraq war, when the failure to find WMDs was becoming
apparent. He became incredibly useful in L’Affaire Plame to continue to
push the dual stories that

a) Plame’s name was already common knowledge and therefore ‘outing’ her was not a crime

b) to continue to help discredit the CIA and Wilson.

Based on the evidence, I believe the 2002 CIA memo was leaked to Gannon
when Novak became unusable and when the ‘mainstream’ reporters with CIA
contacts were not pushing the WH’s preferred story line. They needed
cover, and they got it.

And as is evidenced by his remarkable access to Scott McClellan and
President Bush in the White House press room, to this day, he was
rewarded handsomely…

And it continues as business as usual… until today when he became expendable and ‘resigned’ from Talon News.
