Here's the column that mentions that woman lawyer, from the Chicago Sun Times (it wasn't today; it was July 1):

Media lax as feds go on free press attack by Carol Marin

Excerpt:

By any standard, it is a curious criminal investigation. Even the authors of the 1982 federal law that made it illegal to disclose the identity of a "covert" CIA operative have gone on record saying in this particular case the law does not appear to have been broken. Why? Because, according to federal legal experts Victoria Toensing and Bruce Sanford, Valerie Plame wasn't working covertly, and the CIA, when contacted by Novak in advance of his story, never offered any objection to him publishing her name.

Is Victoria saying that Novack cleared Plame's name before he published it?....if that's the case..what is this all about???
