Bob Novak was the
journalist, not the source of the leak. Also, there was no evidence that he knew she was a covert officer.
Regardless of whether or not Libby was the one who pulled the trigger (I have my own doubts, there), he was the fall guy, and has been convicted, therefore takes the blame. You better believe the source of the leak in the Plame case did it deliberately.
