Why else would they have gone after his wife and not the man himself based on the merits of his investigation?
By going after Plame, they in fact were going after Wilson, because Novak outed her in the process of explaining (according to him anyway) that his wife set up the trip, b/c she had CIA connections.
It wasn't so much an attack on his wife, but it was a way to make him look less credible.
