WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Top administration officials from Vice President Dick Cheney to national security adviser Stephen Hadley denied being Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward's source about CIA operative Valerie Plame, White House officials, lawyers and other sources said on Thursday.
The denials came as Plame's husband, Joseph Wilson, called for an inquiry by The Washington Post into the conduct of Woodward, who repeatedly criticized the CIA leak investigation without disclosing his own involvement.
