Sounds like fiction to me. Provide a source.
OK I read the article. What Novack said has been misrepresented here. I read his column (see link)
This is what happened. Rove and "someone else" told Novack "Joe Wilson's wife is a CIA agent". Novack looks up Joe Wilson in Who's Who. In that article he finds out Joe Wilson's wife's name is Valerie Plame. The Who's Who article does not say That Plame is a CIA agent. Joe Wilson did not publish anything -- he neither publishes nor writes article for Who's Who.
Wilson did not tell Novack anything. HE didn't "brag" in Who's Who that his wife was a CIA agent.
So Rove gets off on the technicality that he did not "name" a CIA agent. The DA did his job like a good republican as he was appointed to do so by Republican justice Dept. Libby is scapegoat, takes a bullet in the butt for the party.
Read the article and correct me if I'm wrong.
sounds like Driveranderson was listening to Rush today and got that "Joe Wilsons Bragging" thing from there.

Former CIA official Larry C. Johnson, who left the CIA in 1989, indicated Plame had been a "non-official cover operative" (NOC). He explained: "...that meant she agreed to operate overseas without the protection of a diplomatic passport. If caught in that status she would have been executed." [4] Later, he wrote that "The law actually requires that a covered person 'served' overseas in the last five years. Served does not mean lived. In the case of Valerie Wilson, energy consultant for Brewster-Jennings, she traveled overseas in 2003, 2002, and 2001, as part of her cover job. She met with folks who worked in the nuclear industry, cultivated sources, and managed spies. She was a national security asset until being exposed by, supposedly, Karl Rove and Scooter Libby."[2]

You got the story wrong. Novak was told by Karl Rove and another unnamed govt. official that Wilson's wife was a CIA agent, and urged to attack Wilson because his wife sent him to Nigeria (which wasn't true, by the way.) The only thing Novak got from the Who's Who entry was the name of Wilson's wife (Valerie Plame) not that she was a agent. The name was an issue, because people wondered how a reporter got the name since it was not Valerie Wilson.

And what have you been taking???You must be a right wing Conservative because you repeat things without verifying when it comes to GWB. GWB gave PERMISSION to C Rove to leak the ladies identity because he didn't like the fact that her husband was criticizing the war. Just today the news person who first published this said and I quote. Rove told me, he was the leak. He has lied to the FBI about our conversations. And you know what a reporter does not leak his source and this reporter never did until he read the lies that Rove told the FBI.So get real about this: GWB and his friends blew the cover of one very effective CIA agent. Great addition to his legacy!!

He's not offended by Rove because "the ends justify the means",
as with all cults,Republican or otherwise.
