It looks like someone else may have had access to the memo, or a similar memo, or something related to the memo.  On October 28, 2003, a reporter had an interview with Joe Wilson, and asked the following question:

"An internal government memo prepared by U.S. intelligence personnel details a meeting in early 2002 where your wife, a member of the agency for clandestine service working on Iraqi weapons issues, suggested that you could be sent to investigate the reports. Do you dispute that?"

Who was the “reporter”?  Our buddy, Jeff Gannon.

Now, how did HE get his hands on that “internal government memo”?

Hey, is Rove married?  Happily?  Just asking . . .
