In addition to the Plame leak, there is also the Chalabi affair, which I think is extremely weird and still a huge mystery. That worries me more than this; something very weird was going on around Chalabi. Either someone in the DOD or State was feeding him secrets, or elements in the CIA are trying to undermine Bush, or . . . ?

Steve--re. the Chalabi thing...yes, you are right that it's much, much worse than Plame. Josh Marshall quotes from the Nelson Report:

If it's possible to imagine anything more damaging to DOD [than the Iran/Chalabi revelations], and perhaps also to White House staff, it is the CIA's conclusion that some information Chalabi turned over to Iran was available to only "a handful" of senior U.S. officials. That would be Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Feith, Cheney, and Cheney's consigleiri, Scooter Libby, our sources helpfully explain.
