THE mysterious source who gave Bob Woodward a tip-off about the CIA agent at the center of one of Washington’s biggest political storms was Stephen Hadley, the White House national security adviser, according to lawyers close to the investigation.
The Times is a credible source (But even the National Enquirer was right about Rush Limbaugh, so reputation ain't necessarily everything) and reading the entire article it sure looks like it's Hadley.
And it looks more and more like a coordinated smear attack for partisan political reasons, reasons that led us to war under false pretenses. Keep whistling past the graveyard, but the spooks are angry...
