...involvement in the storm over the disclosure of a cia officer's identity drew mail from readers who criticized White House tactics, while others saw a partisan attack Whether Karl Rove technically broke a law when he leaked the identity of cia operative Valerie Plame [wife of Administration critic Joseph Wilson] is beside the point [July 25]. Despite repeated denials by the White House, Rove talked about Plame to Time's Matthew Cooper as well as to Robert Novak, the reporter who blew her cover.

That prospect increases the chances that White House official Karl Rove and others learned about Plame from within the Administration rather than from media contacts.
