A Who's Who Of Spies Revealed

Robert Novak hints that he got Valerie Plame's ID from Who's Who, the place where any spy worth his or her cover wants to be listed. Here's the NYT:

Any request that [Novak] withhold Ms. Wilson's name from his column of July 14, 2003, would have been "meaningless" once he had been told she was married to Mr. Wilson, Mr. Novak wrote on Monday, because she was openly listed in the directory. But Mr. Novak also wrote that he would never have used Ms. Wilson's name had anyone from the C.I.A. told him that doing so would endanger her or anyone else. ...

In the Who's Who directory for 2003, personal information about Mr. Wilson includes his origins in Bridgeport, Conn., and the names of his previous wife and his four children. His current wife is listed as Valerie Elise Plame, and the date of their marriage April 3, 1998. ... There is no mention of her employer.

One would think this would pretty much kill this story ... but with Leftyblogs, the DNC and their friends in MSM still trying to catch a whiff of Karl Rove's blood, don't count on it.
