IMO Wilson's story about no Niger-Iraq-uranium connection was really getting on the WH's nerves; he really was the guy with the proof that Bush lied in his SOTU. It was a serious situation and, true to form, instead of refuting Wilson's claims substantively, because they couldn't, they had to to go after his character alluding to nepotistic cronism, which, coincidently, is a BFEE trademark. I'd guess that in the future, if the truth is ever written, that Rove giving this stuff to Novak was done because he was desperate to get the hounds off his and the BFEE's ass and maybe didn't even see the consequences or decided it was worth the risk.

Just some thoughts
