Robert Novak shouldn't have revealed this woman's secret...He should be fired for irresponsible reporting that may have put her life at risk!

What the hell is this guy doing?

I'm starting to get the feeling that Novak thinks he has drifted out of the "insider" loop and has increasingly become more negative and often bitter in his "scoops" on the Bush administration.

He has had one critical column after another, and his "Scoops" are often wrong. Yes, he had the 1994 races right, but how accurate was he on 2002?

Check deeper into the story. Wilson and his wife were involved in leaking info that was designed to discredit Bush, which in turn led to Tenet having to, in effect, apologize for the info that Wilson leaked. Simply put, you mess with the bull, you get the horns.

Nonsense, her life is no more at risk today than it was last week when she was telling her husband, retired career ambassador Wilson, about discussions she knew about between Mr. Foley (her boss) and Mr. Joseph, the gentleman on Condoleeza Rice' staff concerning the suspect "16 words".

The Wilson's actions here might well be construed as espionage conducted against the NSC, and that might well put her life at some risk if W decides to prosecute.

You need to gain the proper

They effectively ended her career, for attermpting to end the presidents.

Sounds to me like the CIA, FBI and all other police agencies in the Federal Government have tremendous problems and maybe up too and including being infiltrated by double agents or agents being involved in politics, maybe both.
The Agencies in the federal government respobsible for policing and intelligence sure took a licking in the 90s and I am affraid we have big problems, plus all of those agents apparently know how to beat the polygraph.

Her husband should have thought of the consequences before he joined forces with the NY Slimes. The moment he opened his mouth, he put his wife's job in jeopardy.

At any rate, it might explain why Wilson, with no previous intel skills and an overtly anti-war agenda, was chosen for the job. His connections.
