The only people who Pincus was talking about the case to prior to
Novak's
column were likely Wilson and Woodward. Woodward testified that he
discussed Plame's identity with Pincus 1 month before Plame's name was
made public by Novak. Pincus said that he never heard about Plame's
identity and her role at the CIA until Novak's column.

What Woodward's testimony does is blow a huge hole through
Fitzgerald's
timeline laid out during his press conference:

NOYB, not a "huge hole". Look, this article has no effect on the
charges
Libby is facing.

Sure it does. Libby says that he spoke with Russert, and Russert told
him
that "all of the reporters in Washington" already knew Plame's identity.
Russert denies this is how the conversation transpired. But Woodward's
testimony would certainly support Libby's statement that he was hearing
about Plame from the reporters themselves.

Pincus is obviously lying about when he knew Plame's identity. So who
is
Pincus trying to protect? Most likely his "source": Wilson!

Not obviously lying, and not most likely Wilson. The story is
unfolding,
and I suspect you may not like the tale. Personally, I think the story
is
getting more interesting, and I'm quite happy the Bush administration
did
something right, appointing a quality prosecutor.


If Cheney leaked the name, then what?

Such a quality prosecutor.........that went public with all the backup for
his indictment that turns out to be in such error. Libby's attorney;s
will
have a field day in court.



It is certainly appearing as if Fitzgerald jumped the gun on his indictment.
2 years and a unlimited budget to investigate this thing, and he gets his
sole indictment wrong!
