Here is one problem too about Novak calling the CIA and them not revealing to him that Plame was an operative.
It would have been a crime for the person at the CIA to reveal it. They knew Novak knew she worked at the CIA, but if Novak didn't know for example that she worked undercover, they wouldn't confirm that for him, or they would be guilty of a crime for doing so unless Novak has a Top Secret security clearance I am unaware of at this point.
Novak was used, Novak is using... Novak as I point out, is pro arab, anti israel, was against the war before it started.
There are probably more people with CIA Analyst on their resumes and business cards in the DC area than those without that claim.
Novak is not a friend of GW, and he has no source in this White House.
When this crappola hits the fans, just remember those who know in this administration don't talk and blab. Those who don't know and are not in this administration are the talkers and blabbers.
