"In July two high level White House aides called at least six DC reporters - one of whom was Robert Novak..."
Robert Novak, on CNN's Crossfire:
"Nobody in the Bush administration called me to leak this. There is no great crime here."
"They asked me not to use her name, but never indicated it would endanger her or anybody else. According to a confidential source at the CIA, Mrs. Wilson was an analyst, not a spy, not a covert operative and not in charge of undercover operators."
Not that the agenda-types in wither wingnut gallery will listen to Novak now that he's served their purpose. But just to set the record straight. I knew Plamer worked for eh CIA before the Novak story too. So did a lot of people. It wasn't a secret.
