You could get a CIA agent's status from a google search?

"In order for Rove (or whoever the source was) to have broken the law, he would have to know and reveal that Plame was a covert operative for the CIA. The problem is that she wasn’t one anymore."


This would pretty much be like arresting any reporter who wrote a story where they revealed George HW Bush was a former head of the CIA.

You could get the fact that Valerie Plame was Joe Wilson's wife from a Google search.

You couldn't get the fact that Valerie Plame worked at the CIA from a Google search.

Thus, if someone told you that Joe Wilson's wife worked at the CIA, it is then easy to determine that Valerie Plame worked at the CIA, and that her fake employer, Brewster Jennings, was a CIA 'front', and thus that anyone else who worked at Brewster Jennings was with the Agency.

So maybe you are missing something.
