A scorecard for the players in the Plame Affair

Inspired by ReddHedd, I went and read John Dickerson’s articles about how the White House outed Valerie Plame. I thought it would make things simpler if I made a scorecard that shows the players in the story that Dickerson tells, and the nature of their contacts with the press, as Dickerson describes them:

Nature of contact with press
Player Public Anomymous
SOAs Bush x
Fleischer x
Hadley x
Powell x
Rice x
Press Calabresi
Cooper
Dickerson
Massimo
Novak
WHIG Libby x
Rove x
Others Fitzgerald
Plame
Saddam
Wilson

Of course, the mere fact that the only people who talked privately to the press about Joe Wilson’s carefully unnamed wife were members of WHIG is not proof that a disinformation campaign was going on… But it certainly is suggestive. Eh?
