Did I tell you that Fifth & Hawthorn is going to close?

You ought to drop me a PM about that one, buddy.

for their country.  It is wrong for anyone that calls themselves a patriot and believes that they are, to endanger such a person.

I've become more and more dubious about this story since the hue and cry began.  I think there's always been some question as to whether Valerie Plame is actually an undercover operative (rather than some cubicle jockey at Langley), and her husband has been proven to be a liar.  In fact, Novak's reporting on the issue has proven to be embarrassingly accurate to the far Left who want to discredit the Administration.  Wilson himself had a carefully-written piece in the Washington Post a few weeks back which baldly misrepresented the Novak piece to which he was responding.

But I'm not speaking about Novak's responsibility to come clean if your assumptions are correct, and he did out an undercover operative for political game.  That's a different question.

I was speaking to the journalistic credo.  I don't believe that loyalty is owed to sources who defraud you.  To the contrary, not only does the journalist owe the victim of a fraud an apology, but he has a responsibility to identify the source to prevent others from being similarly victimized ... and so the public can consider the source and his or her associations.
