Washington Post is confirming (perhaps the first MSM confimation) that Robert Novak cooperated with Fitzgerald.
A critical early success for Fitzgerald was winning the cooperation of Robert D. Novak, the Chicago Sun-Times columnist who named Plame in a July 2003 story and attributed key information to "two senior administration officials." Legal sources said Novak avoided a fight and quietly helped the special counsel's inquiry, although neither the columnist nor his attorney have said so publicly.
There you have it. The Prince of Darkness sang. How much do you want to bet that Fitz has the original leak?
