Perhaps because Novak is no friend of Bush.
As we now know, between the facts that Plame's job was known to much of the Washington area press and she'd had her cover blown by Ames, the list of possible leakers is large.
The larger, and far more important, questions continue to be ignored though.
Who sent Wilson? His wife? His wife's boss who resigned after the story broke? If the latter, did his wife still play a part?
Also, seeing as Wilson is on the payroll of the government of Saudi Arabia, what role did the House of Saud play in all this? Certainly, their retainer being sent on a mission likely to, and then in fact, causing so much trouble for Bush couldn't have worked out any better for the Saudis...
Not only "who?", but "why?"
What was the purpose of Wilson's mission to begin with? And was the purpose accomplished?
Presuming, of course, that the original purpose was not to undermine the President...
You're right on all accounts.
Agreed. Novak is as much a "friend" of Bush's as is McCain and the rest of the RINO's.
