And Alan Dershowitz is on Huffington Whatever today, too, on this matter! Here is his post in full:

Why Is Novak Skating on Rove/Plame Affair?

One of the dangers inherent in jailing journalists for not disclosing confidential sources, is that this draconian punishment can be invoked selectively against targeted journalists. Two excellent and independent reporters may go to jail while Robert Novak has not -- to my knowledge -- been presented with the tragic choice of disclosure or imprisonment. Why has he been exempted? Is it because he toes the administration's line? Is it because he knows whether Karl Rove was the source? An explanation for this apparent double standard is called for!

Now, what I don't understand is this: Even some DEM posters are now saying Robert Novak probably got "immunity" from prosecution, and/or, they are quoting that female lawyer, whose last name begins with a "T" who is married to a lawyer, as saying no crime was committed (Valerie Tonisg or something like that) in Novak printing the name . But Dershowitz sounds like he doesn't have a clue? What is going on here with these Dems? They sound like they really think they are hauling in Rove, but they never have anything on him.

He even used an exclamation point.

It's hard for me to believe that they believe their own spin...
