What does this have to do with anything? The public does not have the right to know the names of undercover CIA operatives. BUT Valerie Plame was not undercover AND Libby had nothing to do with her "outing" even had she been considered undercover. Had she been undercover, her husband would have been the most to blame, since he invited attention on himself and how he got picked for the job by writing a grossly misleading op-ed in the NYT AND then LIED before the Senate Intel. Committee and THEN had the nerve to file suit against Karl Rove for "outing" his wife.
Say it with me now - Richard Armitage was the leaker. And because he's "no partisan gunslinger" (Bob Novak's words), he doesn't get blamed for anything here. Because Libby worked for the big, evil Dick Cheney, somehow, he's to blame here. The world has gone mad.
