The Gellman article, which I highly recommended below, is now existing on the net in two different versions which don’t match. This passage is in the Nexis version, but not the washingtonpost.com version:
On July 12, the day Cheney and Libby flew together from Norfolk, the vice president instructed his aide to alert reporters of an attack launched that morning on Wilson’s credibility by Fleischer, according to a well-placed source.
Libby talked to Miller and Cooper. That same day, another administration official who has not been identified publicly returned a call from Walter Pincus of The Post. He “veered off the precise matter we were discussing” and told him that Wilson’s trip was a “boondoggle” set up by Plame, Pincus has written in Nieman Reports.
Josh Marshall from talkingpointsmemo.com is the one who found this.
