This story provides the basis of the growing story of Ambassador Wilson and his wife Valerie Wilson, a likely CIA agent who had her cover blown by "senior White House officials" as retaliation for Wilson's outspoken attacks against the Bush administration tactics in pressing for war in Iraq - specifically hitting the Niger uranium story hard. This link here leads to an article that is taking the investigation further, fingering Karl Rove as the insider, while also outting some of Rove's shadowy familial past (Rove, who has dual German citizenship, appears to be the grandson of Karl Roverer, a mid-century German who's company helped build Birchenbau).
