[QUOTE]Originally posted by Veers: [QB] [QUOTE]"Operations officer" does not equal "undercover operative." [/QUOTE]It sure as hell sounds like something that should not be revealed. [QUOTE]As for NBC's comments: did Ms. Mitchell back that statement up with any quotes, and is your memory certain? [/QUOTE]That is very close to what she said. There were no quotes, however. But you can't dismiss it simply because of that. [QUOTE]Instead, they said "it wouldn't be a good idea" to publish Plame's name. Not very forceful, given the choices. In doing so they basically confirmed that she was an agency operative, solidifying the leak, not acting to stop it.[/QUOTE]So, "That wouldn't be a good idea" in Novak's mind means "Yes, she is a CIA operative. Please print it." Do you think that if the CIA said "no comment" he wouldn't have printed the article. [QUOTE] In other words, someone at CIA confirmed this unsubstantiated leak. There's your person who should be strung up. [/QUOTE]No. Whoever confirmed it came from the Bush White House, not the CIA. Novak said "senior Bush administration officials" right there in his own article, but if he says that is not true, then what else he says can we believe? [/QB][/QUOTE]
