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. http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp...2305-2005Jan11 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? She was a NOC agent, she doesn't have a "career" with the CIA. Do a little research. 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!!!" Considering the fact that the people that might most be interested in her agent status ALREADY knew, her husband publicizing the fact that someone in the current administration revealed her identity as an agent doesn't make ANY difference. The fact that this very serious national security crime has been almost ignored by the mainstream media is rather troubling, I would venture the guess that this would be Wilson's primary motivation for publicizing it.

A host of people alledgedly knew she worked for the CIA. It has been reported that it was common knowledge in D.C. "cocktail circuit" that Wilson's wife worked for the CIA. Lot's of people knew PRIOR to the White House's alledged leak. But nobody talked much about it because it wasn't important. This goes to another element of the definition of covert agent - the government needs to be taking step to keep her identity secret. This story is not being ignored by the mainstream media. So you even have that fact wrong. But there are very few *facts* available for the media to report. One fact that you still cannot prove is that a even a misdemeanor, let alone a "serious national security crime" has been committed. |

You seem to be concentrating on the Intelligence Identities Protection Act. However, the prosecutor could be using the much broader Espionage Act, similar to Reagan's use of it against Samuel Morison. http://writ.corporate.findlaw.com/sc.../20030926.html |
