Bob Novak reveals Plame source

Joe Wilson’s entry in the ‘Who’s Who in America’ directory. Drudge has the scoop:

BOB NOVAK, My Leak Case Testimony: ‘I learned Valerie Plame’s name from Joe Wilson’s entry in ‘Who’s Who in America’… MORE Published reports that I took the Fifth Amendment, made a plea bargain with the prosecutors or was a prosecutorial target were all untrue… MORE… My primary source has not come forward to identify himself… Bill Harlow, the CIA public information officer who was my CIA source for the column confirming Mrs. Wilson’s identity. I learned Valerie Plame’s name from Joe Wilson’s entry in ‘Who’s Who in America’… I answered questions using the names of Rove, Harlow and my primary source.

Here’s Howie Kurtz’s write up on Novak’s statements.

Jay Tea at Wizbang has a good summary of how the story of le affaire de Plame gained wings to begin with.

Rove's guilty! Yeaaaaaaaaaagggh! This ‘confession’ of sorts from Novak won’t stop the “get Rove” gang (like Howard Dean, pictured far left)from believing til the very end that the eeeeevil one “outed a covert agent for political gain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”, of course, but it does add one more nail in the this “scandal’s” coffin.
