[White House telephone] logs indicate that several White House officials talked to columnist Robert D. Novak shortly before July 14, when he published a column quoting “two senior administration officials” saying that Plame, “an agency operative on weapons of mass destruction,” had suggested her husband for a mission to Niger to investigate whether Iraq tried to acquire uranium there as part of an effort to develop nuclear weapons.
I’m shocked — shocked — that gambling is going on in this establishment!
