That also is an interesting question. IIRC, the story first appeared in a Washington Post article. One of the reporters the story was supposedly shopped to, again IIRC, Andrea Mitchell has denied it. Now Novak is denying it - and no one seems to be coming forward as one of the six.

Absolutely. Wash Post should be Jayson Blair'ed on it. It's a lie....I assume.

Tom Brokaw clarified Andrea Mitchell's part in this last night on the evening news. Brokaw said she got a call from the White House, but it was AFTER the publication of Novak's column naming Wilson's wife. I suspect that will be the case with the other 5 reporters as well. Which to my thinking, means no one at the White House released secret information about a CIA employee....it was already public information.

I loved Novak digging to find out her name had also been listed beside Wilsons in some muckety muck Who's Who list.
