Did Novak Spill the Beans Regarding Plame?

Link Here: cite

I have been keeping a pretty close eye on the Valerie Plame Investigation. Many times a day news.google.com asks me if I meant “plane.”

I realise that the American Prospect Magazine is a Liberal magazine founded by serveral including Robert Reich, and since this broke two hours ago(according to google news), I have found no corroborating stories elsewhere. Actually, that’s beside the point of my question I post here in GD. What would be the ramifications of Novak ignoring the requests of his sources? How would this affect the investigation being undertaken by the FBI? In my feeble analysis it would be a boon for the Whitehouse, as the info was given as background, or off the record, and not as an orchestrated “outing.”

It’s not clear to me that the “officials” asking him not to print it are the sources of the information. So he’s not ignoring his sources.
