WHAT'S BEING OVERLOOKED: John over at Right Wing News has a marvelous post about a wee little important tidbit in the new furor over who leaked the name of CIA employee Valerie Plame to the press.
However, there is a big flaw in much of what's being written about this story. That flaw is that it is being treated as a given that this story was leaked by a member of the Bush administration. While that may turn out to be the case, there is little at this point beyond a leak from an anonymous source to indicate that is what happened.
Read on.

There is a pretty interesting response by Novak on front page of the Drudge Report.
"'Nobody in the Bush administration called me to leak this. In July I was interviewing a senior administration official on Ambassador Wilson's report when he told me the trip was inspired by his wife, a CIA employee working on weapons of mass destruction. Another senior official told me the same thing."
