 Plan Colombia and Beyond: Robert Novak's war
Novak doesn't ask why these brave police are being asked to risk their lives for a strategy that, after more than a decade of fumigation, hasn't done a thing about coca or opium in Colombia.
Novak cites as “evidence of Colombia’s escape from degradation as a narco-terrorist state” the mere fact that the colonel who headed the army brigade has been detained while the attorney-general investigates.
Novak's ideas about the drug war are extremely far from my own tastes, but as far as I know he is definitely very well connected, so his opinions probably represent a bit of what many in the circles he frequents believe.

 Robert Novak's desperate damage control - Salon
Robert Novak should have quit while he was ahead.
A more plausible explanation is Novak downplayed his sourcing on the phone, knowing that if he told Wilson that someone in the administration, and possibly even the White House, had leaked his wife's CIA identity, Wilson would have read Novak the riot act, and pointed out the illegality of such a dirty political smear.
In Wednesday's column, Novak wrote he never thought he'd write about Wilson again, but given the controversy, he felt "constrained to do so." Given that his latest explanations have only muddied the water, odds are he'll have to return to the topic yet again.

Novak wasn't at the dinner, which was conducted under established background rules—the substance of Pillar's remarks could be reported, but not his identity or his audience.

Novak later disclosed the identity of his famous source, explaining his decision to do so on the grounds that the circumstance was “obviously extraordinary.” Writing about his relationship with the spy, Novak admitted that it was possible “he was merely using me to undermine Reno.”
