Basically it comes across that Novak tricked the information out of the White House - Rove's comfirmation of Plame's identity seems more a slip of the tongue than a concerted effort to endanger her.

The problem I see with the global interpretation is that this doesn't explain what Scooter Libby was doing talking about this stuff. Republican special prosecutors generally don't make it a habit to indict people in Republican administrations for tiny technical slips and such. It also doesn't explain why Novack went ahead and published the "slip" when the CIA clearly did not want this to happen.

That said, I'm pretty busy today, so I won't be plunging ahead into
this discussion beyond this.
