Wash. Post reported new characterization by Novak of CIA leak motive, ignoring his original, conflicting account

SUMMARY: The Washington Post reported that Robert Novak has said Bush administration officials who revealed Valerie Plame's identity to him were, in the Post's words, "casually providing a tidbit of information and did not seem to be trying to generate a story to discredit" Joe Wilson, ignoring Novak's original statement that Plame's identity "was given to me" by two administration sources because "[t]hey thought it was significant."
