"What we're not sure of is whether or not a)Rove actually leaked Plame's name, or something else and b)whether or not Plame was actually undercover at the time, or had been undercover within the five years before the leak, either of which would make releasing her name illegal."
Please give us the rest of the requirements in the 1972 law that make an improper revealing of a covert agent's name illegal. No one at this point really believes any law was broken wrt to Plame, not even the Washington Compost or the NY Slimes.
If no one believes any law was broken, why is there still an ongoing investigation?
