Dirty politics to disclose her identity? Yes. A crime? Maybe not.


While you may be right, the Intelligence Identities Protection Act is
quite narrow in scope, but consider this. If there was no crime
committed, why is a reporter going to jail?

Good question. Bottom line is that she is going to jail because she
refused to comply with an order to talk. I am not sure that she should
have been ordered to do so. But contempt of court *is* a crime.

Thank you for the link. There are not very many articles out there
asking these questions.

And what about Plame's husband? Jeeezzz.. He is worried about his
wife's career? Why has been on every mountaintop he can find for the
last year yelling, "These dirty *******s told everyone that my wife is
a CIA agent? Did you hear me?!?! I said these guys are telling people
that my wife is a CIA agent!!!"
