Am I correct in assuming that this is the same Robert Novak who published the leaked story revealing that Valerie Plame was a secret operative of the CIA, thereby quite possibly endangering her life and the lives of agents she worked with, and rendering her no longer able to be of service? As a petty and mean-spirited act of revenge because her husband produced data contradicting the White House claim that Saddam Hussein tried to buy fissionable material to make nuclear bombs?

I have always believed that the journalists involved in publishing that leak were at least as ethically reprehensible as the White House weasels who leaked it.
