Murray Waas reports: On September 29, 2003, three days after it became known that the CIA had asked the Justice Department to investigate who leaked
Valerie Plame's name,
Bob Novak telephoned
Karl Rove to assure Rove that he would protect him from being harmed by the investigation. Waas writes: "Rove testified to the grand jury that during his telephone call with Novak, the columnist said words to the effect: 'You are not going to get burned' and 'I don't give up my sources.'"
