Woodward was Told About Plame by Dick Cheney before the Novak Article

Further in that Rueters article, we learn from Rove's lawyer that Karl Rove "absolutely, positively is not the source" for Woodward.

Okay. And Scooter Libby's been handing open permission (to Judith Miller, for Example), so it can't be him who's denying permission to Bob Woodward.

Do the math. The only person left here is Dick Cheney. He has never said he gives permission to reporters to talk about his involvment.

Dick Cheney told Bob Woodward that Plame was a CIA agent prior to Novak's article.
