On background doesn't mean they're supposed to keep it to themselves -- it means that it has to be attributed to an unnamed official. And by your reasoning, it's Robert Novak's fault that he's not revealing who leaked Valerie Plame's name, since he could burn his sources to do that.

I'm not saying anything. The blog is suggesting that it may have been the NYT that leaked the name, relying on Paki intelligence, and not the confirmation from the admin. It's a timing issue, apparently.
