After reading the two NYT articles about Judy Miller’s involvement in the Plame Leak investigation, I came away with one significant question:

Who was Judith Miller’s real source as to the identity of Valerie Plame as an undercover CIA operative?

Miller’s putative source was Scooter Libby, but Miller claims Libby didn’t provide her with Valerie Plame’s name or undercover status. If Judy’s telling the truth about that (and while the article in the NYT indicates that wagering on Judy’s truthfulness may be a sucker bet), then who did?

I suspect the answer to that question might provide enlightenment as to many of the strange twists and turns in Judy’s Magical Mystery Tour.  It might also might also lead us back to one of the earliest and most perplexing questions about Bob Novak’s original leak: why did he refer to Wilson’s wife as Valerie Plame?

Now that Judith Miller has testified before the grand jury, you would think that many of the questions that have swirled around her martyr-like trip to the slammer would have been answered — especially by Judy herself.  However, the NY Times and Judy remain mum.

Fortunately, though, for those of us held enthralled by this story, some interesting pieces of the Judy puzzle are beginning to become a little clearer, thanks in part to the acrimonious public battle between Libby’s lawyers and Miller’s lawyers over whether Judy ever really needed to go to jail in the first place.

And a couple of interesting snippets have left me speculating as to whether we finally know why Captain Mustache aka John Bolton visited our darling heroine in jail.
