Yes, that is the story. It is something the public had a right to know.
This is the context in which Mr. Novak was told that Mr. Wilson had been hired at the recommendation of his wife, a CIA employee. This is hardly blowing a state secret but is something the public had a right to know.
That's exactly how it started. I have heard nothing about this on ABC or Fox radio "news." It's been "operative," "official," "agent," "undercover agent," or (next?) CIA super spy outed by vengeful Bush White House getting even with the honorable, much-heralded hero ambassador because he told the "truth."
There was a lag between the Watergate break-in and the press frenzy over it. Same thing here. Why? IMO it's because these "issues" (16-words, etc.) are orchestrated, scheduled, and are judged by their efficacy to destroy a wartime administration. Once an "issue" has done its duty the leftist traitors move on the the next one. It's the "CIA super spy betrayed by vengeful Bush, our national scurity has been destroyed" turn.
Got to admit, it's fun listening to leftist pukes "worry" about our national security.
I just made a similar comment on another thread. Great minds think alike :)
