• Walter Pincus, "Anonymous sources: Their use in a time of prosecutorial interest," Nieman Reports, Summer 2005; reprinted on Nieman Watchdog website: "On July 12, 2003, an administration official, who was talking to me [Pincus] confidentially about a matter involving alleged Iraqi nuclear activities, veered off the precise matter we were discussing and told me that the White House had not paid attention to former Ambassador Joseph Wilson’s CIA-sponsored February 2002 trip to Niger because it was set up as a boondoggle by his wife, an analyst with the agency working on weapons of mass destruction. ... In other words, the White House was not merely aware of Wilson's trip and its findings, someone had gone to the trouble to find out how the trip had originated, and then lied about Plame's involvement in order to discredit his findings. (Plame did not 'set up' the trip, as Pincus was told, nor did she 'authorize' it, as Rove told Cooper.) ... (Pincus's disclosure pretty much puts to rest the speculation that Miller's conversation with Rove was where he first found out about Plame.)"

Rove expressed his concerns shortly after an informal review of classified government records by then-Deputy National Security Adviser Stephen J.
