Good analysis misses the point
This is a fine analysis of reality, but misses the point, which is how this messes up the prosecutor's chances of winning Libby's jury trial. Jury trials can be won on confusion, and this is a wonderful gift for the defense. Harping on minutiae such as Fitzgerald's use of the word "known" as a qualifier (who was first to leak to reporter) aren't going to mean much to a jury. Woodward twist is not a guarantee for Libby, of course, of acquittal, but it sure helps him, provided the jury does not consist of 12 reporter/bloggers.
