I haven’t linked to Bob Novak’s column today. In case you haven’t read it, here it is. To my mind, the key points he makes are that he doesn’t believe that this was a coordinated leak (which doesn’t bear on its illegality); and that its investigation is a routine one:
The Justice Department investigation was not requested by CIA Director George Tenet. Any leak of classified information is routinely passed by the Agency to Justice, averaging one a week. This investigative request was made in July shortly after the column was published. Reported only last weekend, the request ignited anti-Bush furor.
Interesting.
