We've gone over that before. It buttresses my point, not yours. As does the WH personnel who are cooperating (unlike some of the media that have been called).
I think that when Novak uses the word "distorted" he means that the information was not given to him as part of a vendetta but to explain why it happened that Joe Wilson, a Democrat, was sent to Niger.
He is explaining that the revelation was not meant to damage this lady but to explain the choice of Wilson.
