There is no new information in this piece, contrary to what a previous reviewer indicates. There is the impression given of new information, most likely in the service of assisting Novak's book sales. There hasn't been a new piece of information in this story since, apparently, prior to Fitzgerald's appointment. There has been the controlled release of misleading bits of information, designed to manufacture a scandal and keep a story going, but that is not the same thing as news.

Perhaps I missed it, but this is the first time I've seen reporter Robert Novak's version of the Valerie Plame leak, and the first time I've seen him verify that Karl Rove confirmed the information provided by Armitage.
