Hmmm -- I guess we were all just imagining it

"Sources of Confusion
The Plame drama thickens, as Washington once again tries to guess who Bob Woodward's been talking to.

By Evan Thomas and Michael Isikoff
Newsweek

Nov. 28, 2005 issue - Who was Bob Novak's source? It's a parlor game any Washington insider or media junkie can play—and most do."

<SNIP>

"The game became more intriguing last week when the legendary Washington Post investigative reporter Bob Woodward was dragged in."

<SNIP>

And then the pounce:

"If Armitage was the original leaker, that undercuts the argument that outing Plame was a plot by the hard-liners in the veep's office to "out" Plame. Armitage was, if anything, a foe of the neocons who did not want to go to war in Iraq. He had no motive to discredit Wilson. On "Larry King Live" last month, Woodward was dismissive of the special prosecutor's investigation, suggesting that the original leak was not the result of a "smear campaign" but rather a 'kind of gossip, as chatter ... I don't see an underlying crime here.'"
