I wish an enterprising journalist would ask Mr. David Corn ,The Washington Editor of Nation Magazine , to answer the folowing questions :

1) Mr. Corn , have you been contacted by the Office of Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald ?

2) Mr. Corn , in your article published in the Nation Magazine on July 16, 2003 ( 2 days after the infamous Robert Novak article identified CIA agent Valerie Plame as an Operative on weapons of mass destruction ) you quote an unidentified source claiming Ms. Plame is "what is known as non-official cover" tracking parties which to buy and sell WMD. Who provided you this information ?

3) Mr. Corn , who provided you the insightful information contained in your artice "The White House Smear" on the nuances of the 1982 Inteligence Identities Act of 1982 ?

4) Mr. Corn , were you aware at the time your article was published that Ms. Plame - according to her husband , former US ambassador to Gabon , Joseph Wilson - was "making the transition to State Dept Cover" in the early spring of 2003 ?
