Does anyone know whether "Radar Online" is a reputable source? It seems to have a new
revelation, sourced to "several beltway insiders close to the investigation," which makes Miller's testimony look more important than ever:
Did Robert Novak rat on New York Times reporter Judith Miller? While some have suggested Miller--who never wrote a word about CIA spook Valerie Plame--was dragged into the leak probe when her name turned up on a White House call log, several beltway insiders close to the investigation say special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald learned of Miller's involvement from Novak himself.
Though the GOP hatchetman claims he's never spoken to the grand jury about the column, a well-known Democratic pundit tells Radar, "Novak is the media's Joseph Valachi," referring to the 1960's mafia capo who was the first mobster to testify against La Cosa Nostra. "There's no question he rolled over." According to our sources, Miller shared Plame's identity with her perfidious fellow neocon after deciding not to publish it herself; Novak then called his two White House sources--one of whom was Karl Rove--for confirmation and wrote the July 14, 2003 column that blew Plame's cover.
What this source makes clear is that while Judith Miller told Novak about this information first, Rove also knew about this information prior to Novak, since he was able to confirm the information to Mr. Douchebag of Liberty.
Was Karl Rove Judith Miller's source? How about I. Lewis Libby? How about both?
And what did they tell Ms. Miller?
