Reporters don't divulge sources,so I believe the important finding of the leaker may never happen.It is usually an exercise in futility.There is another question that is of concern.Steyn expresses this much better than I ever could.

I could have sworn that at the very begining of this, on Crossfire, I heard Bob Novak say that if the FBI asked him, he would divulge his sources.

What does it say about "journalists" when on the one hand they rail about illegal activities, and on the other concel them FOR THEIR OWN BENEFIT?? Because you know that Novak, who supposedly has knowledge of a crime, is only refusing to protect his sources, who may, in fact, be the actual criminal!

I refuse to adopt the term, "LEAK," for this absurd creation of the Bush-bashering media.

There is absolutely no evidence that anyone "leaked" Valerie Plame's covert status -- because she apparently WASN'T covert.

If Steyn is right, Plame's classified status ended five years ago.

This silly kerfuffle, as the WSJ calls it, is falling apart at the seams. NewsWeak now admits that the 'two senior administration officials' who called 'six journalists' about the affair did so only AFTER the Novak column came out, not before:

Isikoff and Hosenball: 'Leakgate' - Criminal or just plain stupid?
