Probe Focuses on Month Before Leak to Reporters (washingtonpost.com): "Wilson said he attempted to increase pressure on the White House the day after the June 12 article was published by calling some present and former senior administration officials who know national security adviser Condoleezza Rice. He wanted them to tell Rice that she was wrong in her comment on NBC's 'Meet the Press' on June 8 that there may be some intelligence 'in the bowels of the agency,' but that no one around her had any doubts about the uranium story.
Wilson said those officials told him Rice was not interested and he should publish his story in his own name if he wanted to attract attention. "
