Leak of Agent's Name Causes Exposure of CIA Front Firm
By Walter Pincus and Mike Allen

Saturday, October 4, 2003; Page A03
The leak of a CIA operative's name has also exposed the identity of a CIA front company, potentially expanding the damage caused by the original disclosure, Bush administration officials said yesterday.
The company's identity, Brewster-Jennings & Associates, became public because it appeared in Federal Election Commission records on a form filled out in 1999 by Valerie Plame, the case officer at the center of the controversy, when she contributed $1,000 to Al Gore's presidential primary campaign.
After the name of the company was broadcast yesterday, administration officials confirmed that it was a CIA front. They said the obscure and possibly defunct firm was listed as Plame's employer on her W-2 tax forms in 1999 when she was working undercover for the CIA.
SNIP
The Justice Department began a formal criminal investigation of the leak Sept. 26.

Look at that third paragraph. It's amazing.
The name of Brewster Jennings was not leaked until October 3.
That's one week AFTER "the Justice Department began a formal criminal investigation of the leak Sept. 26. "
And who the hell was in such a hurry to confirm the name and make damn sure the network and the people within it were destroyed?
Who were these "Bush administration officials" who CONFIRMED that Plame was working undercover for the CIA in 1999 to Pincus and Allen?
Who were these Bush administration officials who CONFIRMED the name of Brewster-Jennings to Pincus and Allen?
We've heard very little from or about Walter Pincus.
I would suggest that THIS is Fitzgerald's case.
And there is NO DOUBT THIS IS A BREACH OF THE ESPIONAGE ACT BY TWO PERSONS CONSPIRING.
I wonder who they are?
postscript
Note the parallels with the outing of David Kelly.
They put so many clues out there that they are bound to be found.
Then they confirm it when someone finds the clue (and I have to wonder who it was who found the clue?)
