Novak does not tell the public that his leaker was not part of a neocon conspiracy, that his leaker was opposed in principle to the war, that there was no dastardly administration plot to punish Joe Wilson through his wife, Valerie Plane. Why not?

because the moment Novak revealed that there was no story, that's the moment no one is interested in Robert Novak, again.

Great post, NB. Sums it all up succinctly. Too bad the national media couldn't get such a handle on this story, and instead we get the endless "Did the Bush administration blow the cover of a covert CIA operative?" BS for years.

The Nation Media (Tim Russert/Andrea Mitchell) were all over this case from the inside. The drove the G****m train for the Wilson/Plame/Armitage/DNC.
