Novack: CIA Objection to Plame leak "very weak"

OpinionJournal - Best of the Web Today: "Taranto: You have to have learned it through your government functions, and you have to have disclosed it knowing that the government was taking affirmative measures to conceal it. Now Robert Novak, who first reported this, said later that he had asked the CIA if it was OK to disclose this name. He said the CIA said we'd rather not, but made only--and these are his words--'a very weak objection.' So it doesn't sound like the government was taking affirmative measures."
