You did a lot of good work and analysis. I agree with you that the underlying story has been ignored. As I was reading your material, I was once again struck by the fact that the whole brouhaha over the last couple of years turned on two words in once sents of Novak's first article:

"Wilson never worked for the CIA, but his wife, Valerie Plame, is an Agency operative on weapons of mass destruction."

If Novak had written, "Wilson never worked for the CIA, but his wife is an Agency operative on weapons of mass destruction," it's likely few would ever have paid attention to any part of this story.

I've wondered if Novak would've worded it differently given the chance to rewrite it. I'll be interested to see what he has to say when his promised tell-all on this comes out.
