The first journalist to reveal Ms. Plame was "covert" was David Corn, on July 16, 2003, two days after Mr. Novak's column. The latter never wrote, because he did not know and it was not so, that Ms. Plame was covert.

I would have preferred to see the word reveal be placed in quotation marks here since, as Ms. Toensing later points out, Plame's covert status "was not so."

Plame was not covert. It cannot be repeated enough. She was not covert.

David Corn is now a contributor at Fox News, and I can't understand what Roger Ailes' reasoning is for hiring so many left-wingers. I don't have confidence in anything Corn writes or says.

Yeah, that was a bad bit of writing in an otherwise terrific column - either the word "reveal" should have been in quotes, or better still, she should have used totally different words such as "assert" or even "David Corn was the first journalist to concoct/fabricate/invent the idea that Valerie Pflame was covert...."
