Okay, Feith was busy in the basement of the Pentagon cooking up bad intelligence under the auspices of a custom-created DOJ Office of Special Projects (aka, The Proof's in the Planting). According to a diarist yesterday, the OSP had access to things like Plame's identity, among other things.

AND the OSP was hand-in-hand with Chalabi.
AND Judith Miller was allegedly having an affair with same (eewww!) - or had ended one but was nonetheless his favorite scoop recipient.

It was either Joe Wilson or Ray McGovern (I forget which) who were told that Rove was so angry after the NYT piece he demanded that Scooter Libby "get [me] all the dirt you've got on Wilson".

Now, we would have to refer to Karen Kozwalski's work to match up the dates, but I'm pretty sure this is the timeframe when Scooter left Cheney's office to go to work with Feith in (drumroll) the OSP.
