"What this thing has been for the past two years has been a cover-up, a cover-up of the ... web of lies that underpin the justification for going to war in Iraq," said Plame's husband, Joseph Wilson, a career foreign service officer who served in the Clinton White House. "And to a certain extent, this cover-up is becoming unraveled. That's why you see the White House stonewalling," Wilson told NBC's "Today" show.
Wilson charged in another interview that Rove was actively promoting Novak's story about Plame in 2003, saying the White House deputy chief of staff declared Wilson's wife "fair game" in a telephone conversation with Chris Matthews, the host of NBC's political affairs program, "Hardball." "He (Matthews) called me up as soon as he got off the phone," Wilson told CNN. "He called me up and he said: 'I just got off the phone with Karl Rove. He says your wife is fair game'. I know that Karl Rove was, in fact, engaged in pushing the Novak story."-from the story tonight from Yahoo News.
