For her second grand jury appearance, Miller produced a notebook from a previously undisclosed meeting with Libby on June 23, 2003. This was several weeks "before" Joseph Wilson's "New York Times" editorial was published. This belied the theory that Libby was retaliating against Wilson for his "Times" editorial. According to Miller's notes from that earlier meeting, Libby disclosed that Joseph Wilson's wife was a CIA employee involved in her husband's trip to Niger. Miller's notebook from her July 8, 2003, meeting with Libby contains the name "Valerie Flame ". This reference occurred six days before Novak published Plame's name and unmasked her as a CIA operative.
