Think Progress ' Novak Lies: 'The CIA Never Told Me It Would Cause Any Damage':
"Actually, he was warned. Washington Post, 7/27/05:
Harlow, the former CIA spokesman, said in an interview yesterday that he testified last year before a grand jury about conversations he had with Novak at least three days before the column was published. He said he warned Novak, in the strongest terms he was permitted to use without revealing classified information, that Wilson's wife had not authorized the mission and that if he did write about it, her name should not be revealed.
Harlow said that after Novak's call, he checked Plame's status and confirmed that she was an undercover operative. He said he called Novak back to repeat that the story Novak had related to him was wrong and that Plame's name should not be used.
Now, Novak wants to pretend like the warnings never happened. (In a subsequent column, Novak didn't dispute Harlow on the facts but argued his warnings weren't important.) Even moving to Fox News doesn't insulate you completely from the truth. "
Is there any right-wing journalist/pundit Bush employee out there that can tell the truth on a consistent basis? Or does pathological liar have a check-box on the employment application?
(Go ahead and bring-up long ago tales of Ted K. and bridges. And Clinton defining "is." Then, ask yourself: is that all I have?)
