Did you watch Brit's show a few minutes ago when he talked about this???
The way I understood what he said...and I had NOT seen this column or Drudge's report...that Novak's SOURCE was the Who's Who of Joe Wilson...and had it verified by a CIA guy...
IOW..JOE WILSON actually supplied Novak the name.
Brit also said that the reason Novak is telling all now is...Fitzgerald has told him that he doesn't need anything further from him...and his coming forward would not affect the "CASE"..
Well of course it won't, because there never should have been a CASE...and poor Libby lied MAYBE, anyway.
Novak's column suggests that he is NOT going to reveal his "primary source."
Has anyone posted Novak's article itself?

My Leak Case Testimony
by Robert Novak
Posted Jul 11, 2006
Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has informed my attorneys that, after two and one-half years, his investigation of the CIA leak case concerning matters directly relating to me has been concluded. That frees me to reveal my role in the federal inquiry that, at the request of Fitzgerald, I have kept secret.
I have cooperated in the investigation while trying to protect journalistic privileges under the First Amendment and shield sources who have not revealed themselves. I have been subpoenaed by and testified to a federal grand jury. Published reports that I took the Fifth Amendment, made a plea bargain with the prosecutors or was a prosecutorial target were all untrue.

Didn't see it but I read it here and just like I was gathering Joe was the primary source in his Whos who and people confirmed it. If this is the way it is, I am going to have a lot of fun watching all the meltdowns. Maybe Libby will have his case dismissed and make it even better.
"What was Joe Wilson's motive for "destroying his wife's career" and "damaging" national security???????"
If Libby lied in all of this he was an absolute fool.
