Marshall seemed to say Novak did, but not necessarily the source. But all that's water under the bridge. People wrongly focus on whether this is a crime and everyone's framing of the issue with respect to the statute and its criminal status is serving to "deflate" the story. The public should be more outraged over the politically vindictive act that even creates these questions. Crime or not.
This is ridiculous. As this story goes nowhere to proving the case I know perfectly well, which is that the Bush Admin is the spawn of the devel, er, savior or us all, why do you bother to present us with this useless "information" which furthers no one's pre-selected political agenda?
Don't you get how this works?
I'm going to sleep now. As should you, and then post.

Josh also wrote (in that post or elsewhere and I think rightly) that if Novak knew, his source must have known.
As to your second point, I think that's the price we pay for hyping illegality: now base malice seems less bad.

Oh, dear. Someone will take this seriously if I don't say otherwise, won't they?
Sigh.

You still haven't said otherwise! We see your misdirection Mr. Farber.
