Bob Novak Says President Knows Leak Source
Bob Novak Says President Knows Leak Source By PETE YOST, Associated Press Writer
54 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - Columnist Bob Novak, who first published the identity of covert CIA officer Valerie Plame, says he is confident that President Bush knows who leaked Plame's name.

Novak said that "I'd be amazed" if the president didn't know the source's identity and that the public should "bug the president as to whether he should reveal who the source is."

Novak's remarks, reported in the Raleigh, N.C., News & Observer, came during a question and answer session Tuesday after a speech sponsored by the John Locke Foundation, a conservative think tank.

Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer (news, bio, voting record) urged Bush to identify Novak's source or to say that he does not know who it is.

1. Shouldn't this story also be over in LBN? I didn't see it there.
This is another timebomb going off in the Plame story and deserves all the play that it can get because the Corporate Media will not be running with this story willingly.

4. Sure seems like it should. That's the first place I went..wasn't there
This needs to be brought to the forefront of the media coverage...if Shrubie knows, he needs to come clean, just like Schumer says. There is no need to protect his sources like journalists might claim. But one has to wonder what NoFact's motive is in saying this.

3. Well Bob...
what is the point of all this?

Do you want us to play 20 questions with you?
Bob, why don't give up this little cloak and dagger charade
and just tell the american people the truth.
You look like a silly old baffoon....
an old fart who thinks he is too smart and too important
it's just that everyone else sees him for what he is...
a silly old baffoon. A nasty crotchety old senile fart of a fool.
C'mon Bob... you don't want to retire with
baffonery as your only legacy do ya ??????

Speak the truth.

6. I don't know, but do you think it has something to do with...
the reason Fitz didn't meet with the GJ today? Maybe he's looking into Novak's statement?
