Yes, long before Bush, Rove, or Libby, her own husband had an entry put in "Who's Who In America" where he described her role in the CIA.

For all of you calling for punishment for whoever leaked Valerie Plame's CIA status, I suppose you'll be calling for her husband to be indicted now.

Columnist Robert Novak revealed that he discovered Valerie Plame's identity from her husband's -- Joe Wilson's -- entry in "Who's Who in American," in which he mentions her position with the CIA.

Novak said, "I learned Valerie Plame's name from Joe Wilson's entry in 'Who's Who in America.'"

"Published reports that I took the Fifth Amendment, made a plea bargain with the prosecutors or was a prosecutorial target were all untrue...," said Novak

"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... 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."

So where did you get this one from? Please post your source so that we may all mock and ridicule it once again.

I'm sorry, but this bit of history has already been sent off to the printing press.

Get your copy in earlier next time.

say it isnt so.... I was wondering what that wailing sound in the valley was.

But you'll never get the hard core Bush haters to admit that this ever happened. One really wonders how they can continue to ignore reality. And what's ever going to happen to Mr. Fitzgerald? How will he continue to justify the presige that he has enjoyed with his own grand jury?

Erm, it has nothing to do with "Bush-haters", you would have to make it widely known first. See, the way I see it, it's like buying a newspaper one day and seeing:


Area man a suspected pervert

Springfield, NJ - Police have asked the community to be on the lookout for Dave Matthews, 43, formerly of 9, The Elms, Springfield. Convenience store clerk Ranish Aputapethalon described the sickening acts which...


And then months later, the retraction, on Page 17 just before the used car ads:


Errors and Clarifications

The Editors of this newspaper wish to offer an unreserved apology to Dave Matthews, a victim of mistaken identity and featured on the front pages of numerous editions...


Eh, it's not fair, but that's the way these things go.

But you'll never get the Bush lovers to admit that a covert op was outed for poltical reasons.

Strange, I still cannot find hide nor hair of this anywhere on the news. Did everyone take the day off? I did find a promise for Novak to come clean... tomorrow.

Of course I am also seeing a lot of speculation from conservative bloggers whom no doubt Kimchi plagerized, again.

Just as an update, now that the dingy thing has been published:

Following my interview with the primary source, I sought out the second administration official and the CIA spokesman for confirmation. I learned Valerie Plame's name from Joe Wilson's entry in "Who's Who in America."

In other words, he didn't learn of her CIA status from Ambassador Wilson's entry in Who's Who, he found her NAME as his wife in his entry in Who's Who.

Sorry Kimchi, once again the treasured, "Everyone knew she was CIA" excuse is blown apart.

That's what you get for copying Drudge.

nice work Nevrun
