I hope it was Plame that wrote the PDB from Aug 6.

It would show that she was indeed riding a desk at the time, and no longer in the field, and therefore could not be outed as an active field agent.

As far as whether or not it was Clarke that gave Novack her name, well, I'd LOVE to know!

Since the PDBs are classified, I assume their author's identities are also classified. And the wording from yesterday's hearings was that the PDB was written by an "operative." Therefore, it is illegal to reveal her identity as a CIA employee.

I would love to know to. And, frankly, I don't understand why Novak just doesn't tell us who it is........LOL!
