"undercover" or not, she shouldn't have been outed. Novak lamely mentions that the CIA official who confirmed to him Plame's CIA status asked him not to reveal it, but NOvak did it anyway. He said the CIA official should have more strongly worded his advice. Very lame.
The following Newsday article went into detail about Plame's role in WMD analysis, citing "intelligence" sources. IMO this was much more revealing. The authors of the Newsday article are just as much part of the investigation, despite news reports focusing on Novak.
There's a lot of intrigue going on...pettiness could be part, or the big money "containment" lobby against getting rid of Saddam, and more importantly, UN sanctions on Iraq.
I don't know if the govt. is interested, or even knows about the BBC leak by an intelligence source, speculated here to be Plame herself, as a possibility. Or if there interested in Joe Wilson - for one, was his exoneration of the Niger Government tainted by the fact that he sought, or had sought, to make a private sector deal with that same government for a gold mining operation? What about his connections to Rock Creek Corporation? Saudis? ONe can only hope these be investigated too.
