From what I recall of the transcript, Victoria was claiming that Novak's interest in the story was because of the nepotism angle (Wislon's wife working for the CIA...and helping him get the job) and not because of some nefarious WH effort to punish Wilson. It is interesting with the media's sudden concern over Harriet Miers and this nepotism, that they just couldn't find this same concern with Wilson and his wife.

Why have so many people rushed to assume that a crime was committed when someone "in the administration" gave columnist Robert D. Novak the name of CIA "operative" Valerie Plame?

Novak published her name while suggesting that nepotism might have lurked behind the CIA assignment of her husband, Joseph Wilson, to a job for which he was credentially challenged: The agency sent him to Niger to determine whether Iraq was interested in acquiring uranium from that country, although he was an expert on neither Niger nor nuclear weapons.

The Plame Game: Was This a Crime?
