No record of Bush being implicated at this point, but a serious leak is becoming obvious, unless all the people and Novak are lying. Long, detailed story, full story here.

In order to not take any chances with violating the rule from the Post, the story is excerpted severely. But the main names are left out, so here are the two introductory paragraphs. The CIA agent's name is not included in the story, but if you want to know, you can find it at the thread posted yesterday--MSNBC.
Intro:
At CIA Director George J. Tenet's request, the Justice Department is looking into an allegation that an administration official leaked the name of an undercover CIA officer to a journalist, administration officials said yesterday.

The operative's identity was published in July after her husband, former U.S. ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV, publicly challenged President Bush's claim that Iraq had tried to buy "yellowcake" uranium ore from Africa, which can be used in nuclear weapons. Bush later backed away from the claim.

Whoever did it needs to get their head handed to them, no matter who it was.

The jerks who did this should be immediately fired and
Novak should also pay a price for using the agents name.

Since when do we worry about spies who use diplomatic immunity as a cover.

As the wife of an ambasdor, whe would have had diplomatic immunity.

AS such she wouldn't have been touched by foriegn governments.

Just another case of the demos crying about milk they have orginally spilt.

BTW the name of the government employ who split the beans was wilson, anybody want to bet on that one?

As I recall a number of Dems have done this and Bush was really angry. Of course the press will jump on anything to make the whitehouse look bad.

Wilson revealed in July that the CIA had sent him to Niger last year to look into the uranium claim and that he had found no evidence to back up the charge.

Wilson wasn't looking to back up the charge; his goal was to refute it.
