Fox News headline says that Novak has revealed that Karl Rove was his source for Valerie Plame as the one who suggested Joe Wilson as the one to go to Africa to check out claims that Saddam had tried to buy uranium from Niger. Later in the story we learn that Novak got the information from someone else. He called Rove and asked him about it. Rove either said "I've heard that too" or "So you know about that." This is not news since it has been known for many months. One question I have is, is this what reporters call sourcing? Rove apparently treated the story as a rumor. How culd that make him a source for Novak. And, Novak did do more research by calling the CIA, where it was confirmed that Valerie Plame did work there. The next question: why did Fox News treat this as news. And why the misleading headline that seems to accuse Rove. A more important question: it is revealed in the story that the prosecutor Fitzgerald has known all along who first gave the story to Novak, and it wasn't Rove nor, apparently Libby. Why then did Fitzgerald say in his press conference after indicting Libby that Libby was the one who had revealed Plame? He was apparently lying. Do prosecutors get to lie? Since it now appears that Plame was no longer a covert agent (since the person who revealed her has not been identified much less charged) why was there a leak investigation? It appears to have been a boondoggle; a total waste of time and money. Why hasn't the person in the CIA who made the criminal referral been fired. Who was that person?
