On the contrary, Aaron.
The issue IS her name.
Who cares how many poeple know that Wilson is married to a CIA opertive - IF her identity could be kept secret.
By putting her name on his website, Wilson had already blown her cover big time.
I wouldn't even be surprised - in fact I expect - Wilson himself to be found out as the ultimate source of the "leak".

You are right on. In fact, last night Ramesh Ponnuru was alluding to how Wilson seems to be referring back to stories that he, himself, may have started to begin with.
THE CONFUSING WILSON STORY [Ramesh Ponnuru]
I understood Novak not to be denying that Plame/Wilson is involved in covert ops but to be saying that a CIA source had given him to understand that she was merely an analyst--a very different thing. Did whatever administration official spoke to Novak realize what her job was? If not, does his ignorance save him from breaking the law? There is rather a lot that's murky in this story. The Washington Post reports 1) that Joseph Wilson says that Andrea Mitchell, among others, told him that the administration had told her about his wife's job and 2) that Mitchell had reported that Wilson was saying that the administration had told reporters about his wife's job. So Mitchell's source was Wilson, but Wilson's source was Mitchell?

I have been battling this issue (as many have) on another
thread. I have amassed a ton of links that might be of interest to you.

Bingo. What I've suspected all along and fully expect to be the result of the investigation.
