Doesn’t it seem odd that Judith Miller would get Valerie Plame Wilson’s name wrong twice in her notebook? Once as “Valerie Flame,” once as “Victoria Wilson.”

Of course, that’s exactly the sort of thing a careful reporter (with a security clearance from her “embed” service) might do when writing down in her notebook something she knew to be highly classified: write down enough to remind herself of the name, but not enough to reveal it to someone who might see the notebook if it were lost or stolen.
