Guessing Game Over Woodward's Source Intensifies

Colin Powell says "I'm not deep throat." Other State Department officials refuse comment.

Wouldn't it be sweet. Remember, Novak said his original source was "no partisan gunslinger." That would seem to indicate it wasn't one of the White House's top guys, who are, of course, "partisan gunslingers."

It's probably too much to ask that it turn out to be some liked-by-liberals guy at State, but that does seem to be a likely place for finding non-partisans who might have known.

And then there's always the possibility that it's George Tenet or an underling.

More here (link to Free Republic excerpt; full article requires WSJ subscription).

The range of current and former administration officials who may have identified a CIA agent to the Washington Post's Bob Woodward narrowed as numerous officials denied...

Vice President Dick Cheney isn't believed to have talked to Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald since last year, nor has he given a waiver to Mr. Woodward. That removes him as Mr. Woodward's source. Also ruled out are President Bush... and Dan Bartlett...

Douglas Feith, former undersecretary of defense for policy, said he didn't talk to Mr. Woodward about Mr. Wilson and his wife, as did Carl Ford Jr., former assistant secretary of state for intelligence and research. A spokesman for former CIA Director George Tenet and his former deputy, John McLaughlin, said neither provided that information...

One official among those who knew of Ms. Plame's identify is former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage. He was out of the country and hasn't responded to recent requests for comment on this subject...

Why not Jeff Gannon? He at least fits the deep throat criteria.

Ace-- do you remember this story about the SECRET State Department memo with Plame's name on it, the one Powell had?

I wonder if there's a coinky-dink. When did Woodward find out again? Do the dates synch up?

Cheers,

Well, Armitage certainly is a dick. He may not be a "partisan gunslinger" but is rather the ultimate dog-robber, an incompetent promoted way above his competence level by simply holding on to Powell's trouser leg.

Matt Dowd, former Disney Groomer Corporation Political Director and John McCain advisor (of course), is the one who blamed Charlie Kirk's shooting on the real assassin, Charlie Kirk, claiming that Charlie's "hateful words lead to hateful actions."

I disregard their hate. It's the violence that we object to. And we will begin objecting to it with force.
Update: Kash Patel says the person of interest has been interrogated and then released. Wrong guy, I guess.
But as the hours pass without a real suspect, and with the FBI apparently interrogating uninvolved people, I begin to fear the assassin has escaped. I mean, they don't seem to be following a breadcrumb trail, they seem genuinely baffled.

There was fear aplenty. But the truth is, a lot of the panic Americans saw on television was performative. The throngs of people along Convention Center Boulevard sat patiently in the broiling weather, five or six deep in folding chairs on the sidewalk, waiting for something, someone, to arrive. Then, a television crew or photographer would show up, and people would pour into the street, falling on their knees, screaming and gesticulating to the camera. It was an awful situation, obviously, but when the camera wasn't on them, it was remarkable how patient and orderly everyone was.
