"In opposition to draft legislation setting heavy criminal penalties for Americans who deliberately identify undercover U.S. intelligence agents: `[Such legislation] will chill public debate on important intelligence issues and is unconstitutional." --- Morton Halperin, UPI, 1981
I wonder how Halperin feels about the "outing" of Valerie Plame?
