No she didn't. She researched it. Period. But apparently the person
she taked to was not Karl Rove, and is afraid to come forward. (A
guess).
I do not know why Novak is not in this and I think he should make a
statement on the subject since in my opinion he allowed himself to be
used by Rove, and

She didn't write the story. That's the gist of what I get. Why is she in
jail. She didn't publish the name of the CIA agent, didn't help the
government to turn on one of it's own. She instead took the info and did
nothing with it because she saw it for what it was.

Did you read today in the NYT that the Cleveland Plain Dealer is withholding

While I think the leaking of information is a very, very serious

overblown. And at the very least distracting from the CIA leak issue.
