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?


For aiding & abetting the enemy (the Democrats).

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.


Really? What of the 5th Amendment? I thought that a US citizen had the
right to not testify. I guess it's just another one of those rights they
taught us about in school, but they were kidding...

You should have paid attention in school. You cannot be compelled to
testify against *yourself*. People are compelled to testify against
others in court everyday.

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!!!"


I think it's not so much his wife's career, but a career move for
himself

However, John Cairns has a good point... not much in the news about the
situation.

There isn't much to report. You are not seeing a lot of detail in the
news about this because nobody in the news business knows more than a
couple of facts about the case.

We still don't know if a crime was committed.
