Clarification: BC-US–Obit-Novak
WASHINGTON — In an Aug. 18 obituary about columnist Robert Novak, The Associated Press reported that Novak’s column identified Valerie Plame as a CIA operative and the investigation into that disclosure led to the conviction of I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff. The story should have stated that Libby was convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice for lying to investigators, not for being the source of the leak to Novak.
