Since in neither case does Plame qualify, Toensing says: "There is a serious legal question as to whether she qualifies as 'covert.'" True ...
But I believe ... leaking classified information from the CIA as Joe Wilson did by his op-ed piece in the NYT is against the law

For Plame's outing to have been illegal, the one-time deputy AG says, "her status as undercover must be classified." Also, Plame "must have been assigned to duty outside the United States currently or in the past five years." Why has it taken so long for someone to bring this point up?! Crikies! -- we were broaching this a year ago.

That has always been my belief. He was on an official trip for the CIA who had ownership of any information that he brought back - they alone had the authority to release it to the public.
