Reference my post yesterday on this subject below this column in Townhall last night.
Here is Novak's words from his own column:
Following
my interview with the primary source, I sought out the second
administration official and the CIA spokesman for confirmation. I learned Valerie Plame's name from Joe Wilson's entry in "Who's Who in America."
I
considered his wife's role in initiating Wilson's mission, later
confirmed by the Senate Intelligence Committee, to be a previously
undisclosed part of an important news story. I reported it on that
basis.
I have read several articles this
morning from the major wire services, and not one of them mentioned the
first paragraph of his article. All of them pointed to Karl Rove's
conversation when Novak called him to confirm her identity. We knew all
of this, however, the MSM is treating this as big news.
No bias here, folks. Move along
