Unclear On The Concept

Another example of why reporters should be forced to take formal logic while in college: by Timothy Noah Novak's Denial, You blew a CIA employee's cover, Bob. Live with it.

Robert Novak remains bizarrely in denial about whether he unmasked a covert employee of the Central Intelligence Agency.

Actually, if we are going to buy the basic premise here, the "outing" couldn't have been done by Novak because in order for him to even know about it he would have to be informed by someone else (and we know who that is). Novak is one of many people to whom Plame was "unmasked." Novak just reported it.

I will wait anxiously for Noah's piece on how the Pentagon Papers case was wrongly decided.
