"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," Novak said.

I know what I've been told but if this is such a fantasy land to you then explain Novak's own statement about his source? "Confidential CIA Sources" usually have more than one journalistic contact. If Rove or Libby was Miller's source why is she in jail after a waiver was given for release of confidentiality?

Ba Bye, know-it-all!

Lugs has fantasies of his own, only his have always been of the DU conspirazoid type!

The evil and sinister Bush/Cheney/Rove are the boogymen!

For someone who purports to know something about this story, you must not be following what Novak has said. After getting the info from his two 'senior administration' sources, HE contacted the CIA for comment and/or confirmation. The person who made the inital comments referenced in your quote was a press officer, not a confidential source.

I'll leave you to figure out the inherent contradiction in your scenario - but since it came from someone in the 'MSM,' why do you find it credible?
