scott's 'peak oil propaganda' debate

* earlier in the month I was wondering why Novak's plame-outing article was still pushing for the declassification of the CIA report about Wilson's trip, even after Waas reported that the rest of the WH had backed off (after Tenet/Rove/Hadley's statement retracting the 16-words et al). There seems to be some reasonable speculation that Novak's article hit the wires on the 11th (Fri), even though it was dated the 14th. That would solve that little part of the mystery.
