He "outed" her himself at least as early as 2002.

Either you typed in the URL wrong, or that Wilson's bio has been pulled down.

Smoothsailing: Click hereLYING JOE'S BIO. He "outed" her himself at least as early as 2002.

Timesink: Either you typed in the URL wrong, or that Wilson's bio has been pulled down.

The site was apparently pulled down today, because it gave the names of their children and the city they lived in. They have been placed under a police watch. As when FOX gave the home number of the Oklahoma judge and Tucker Carlson, all three incidents have led to non-stop death threats to families of the people affected. We forget sometimes that controversial people in the news sometimes have children who shouldn't be terrorized because their parents. But the bio was reprinted in some U.S. newspapers today. His wife wasn't "outed" on the site. I have looked at it twice in the last week, including this morning. His bio merely included her name as well as the names of their children, no CIA affiliation.

Meanwhile, however you feel about Novak, you need to be aware that he is spinning this story wildly as he becomes more of the target. He unfortunately has quite a paper trail and thousands of TV apperances and interviews, so he can't walk away from some of his statements where he spoke in detail about the leak. This one is especially troublesome, from the newspaper, Newsday, on July 22, eight days after his original column. It is almost opposite of the spin he gave today while appearing to defend the president:

Novak, in an interview, said his sources had come to him with the information. "I didn't dig it out, it was given to me," he said. "They thought it was significant, they gave me the name and I used it."
The reporter apparently has the tape recording. This will not help the case of either Novak or the White House.
