    legally bliond...

    Q; If it's true that the 'leaker(s)' in the Plame investigation 'are known' to be Armitage and Rove, why haven't they been prosocuted as well?

    It seems beyond dispute at this point everybody knows Plame was a 'covert' cia employee - and that gov. officials w/ security clearances were responsible for 'knowing' Plame was covert - and that it is *illegal* to disclose the name of a covert cia employee.

    If I recall, Pres. Bush made the point during the investigations early stages that any 'leaks coming from' the WH in this matter would punished serverely. [rhetorically, no doubt.]

    Was this some sort of 'slip and fall' leak? Just asking. Goes to intent?

    sincerely,

    Bah.
