Bush proclaimed his top aides innocent before they were even investigated. What a crock.

"re: The man who wrote the article says he contacted the CIA before revealing the name, and was told merely that they'd rather he did not print it, as doing so might make it more difficult for her to travel, nothing more. "

From Novaks 2nd column on the subject Oct 1, 2003.

"At the CIA, the official designated to talk to me denied that Wilson's wife had inspired his selection but said she was delegated to request his help. He asked me not to use her name, saying she probably never again will be given a foreign assignment but that exposure of her name might cause "difficulties" if she travels abroad. He never suggested to me that Wilson's wife or anybody else would be endangered. If he had, I would not have used her name. I used it in the sixth paragraph of my column because it looked like the missing explanation of an otherwise incredible choice by the CIA for its mission."
