Libby NOT This Scandal's Deep Throat

Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward testified before the CIA leak grand jury for two hours this week -- saying he was aware of CIA agent Valerie Plame's identity in the middle of June, 2003.

That's roughly a month before she was first publicly identified in a Robert Novak column.

Former Vice Presidential Chief of Staff Lewis "Scooter" Libby has been indicted for his role in the investigation.

But Mr Woodward says he was first told about Ms Plame's identity by another White House official -- not Mr Libby.

A spokesman for White House advisor Karl Rove says Mr Rove never spoke with Mr Woodward about Ms Plame. (CNN/WashPost)
