Ari Fleischer is the Plame insider: 1 short reason...
2003 SOTU - Bush tells the 16 word lie about Nigerian Yellow Cake.

Feb. 3rd, 2003 - IAEA receives copy of Joe Wilson's report.

March 19th, 2003 - Ari Fleischer in a surprise move announces retirement.

July 14th - Ari Fleischer retires.

July 14th - Bob Novak reveals Valerie Plame's identity.

July 15th - Scott Mclellan waves in a new era of incompetance.

The timeline...look at it. It's pretty obvious to me.

2. I think you might have something here
Anything else happen around July 14th that might have caused Fleischer that it was time to jump ship?

4. Check this out
Jane Hamsher runs this around the block on firedoglake

Who Is the Third Man?

<snip>

We also know that, that paragraph, that document was circulated on Air Force One as the president was flying to Africa, that Ari Fletcher saw it, Colin Powell testified to that. And that could be one of the key facts in this.
