Talk:Kenneth M. Duberstein

Dropping some data on Duberstein, as I collect it. I haven't collated it, nor considered its applicability for the Duberstein stub on S/W. The reason for my research into Duberstein is because of his mention in a recent NY Times CIA leak investigation story in which he is identified as the person who asked Armitage to speak to Novak:


 * "Mr. Armitage spoke with Mr. Novak on July 8, 2003, those familiar with Mr. Armitage's actions said. Mr. Armitage did not know Mr. Novak, but agreed to meet with the columnist as a favor for a mutual friend, Kenneth M. Duberstein, a White House chief of staff during Ronald Reagan's administration. At the conclusion of a general foreign policy discussion, Mr. Armitage said in reply to a question that Ms. Wilson might have had a role in arranging her husband's trip to Niger.


 * At the time of the offhand conversation about the Niger trip, Mr. Armitage was not aware of Ms. Wilson's undercover status, those familiar with his actions said. The mention of Ms. Wilson was brief. Mr. Armitage did not believe he used her name, those aware of his actions said.


 * On Oct. 1, 2003, Mr. Armitage was up at 4 a.m. for a predawn workout when he read a second article by Mr. Novak in which he described his primary source for his earlier column about Ms. Wilson as "no partisan gunslinger." Mr. Armitage realized with alarm that that could only be a reference to him, according to people familiar with his role. He waited until Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, an old friend, was awake, then telephoned him. They discussed the matter with the top State Department lawyer, William H. Taft IV.
