Bob Novak's role in the Plame leak probe Bob Novak's role in the Plame leak probe

Bob Novak comes clean in an article in the Chicago Sun Time titled:My role in the Plame leak probe after getting assurances from the special prosecutor that he would not be indicted. No big surprises for a lot of us. But of interest is his conclusion:

I learned Valerie Plame's name from Joe Wilson's entry in Who's Who in America.

I considered his wife's role in initiating Wilson's mission, later confirmed by the Senate Intelligence Committee, to be a previously undisclosed part of an important news story. I reported it on that basis.
