From all I've read, there is nothing to indicate that the person gave Novak the woman's name. Rather, this person merely said that "the wife of Wilson worked for the CIA."
I believe that Novak discovered her actual name, and decided on his own to publish this information.
Well thats one kind of scttlebutt. The scuttlebutt here is that Wilson himself did t ---which makes the most sense.
By talking about Wilson's wife? That's just what the left wants -- for the administration to come out fighting, so they can accuse them of further leaks, subversion and intimidation.
Plame along with her idiot husband and the Washington Post (seeking to recapture their "glory days" of Watergate), are most probably the beginning and end of this entire episode, and anyone who is innocent has nothing to gain by speaking out right now.
Let it play out. Let those who are involved stew in their hate and ratchet up the lies and innuendoes until they choke on them.
