The judge is referring to the chain of events the "leak", whatever it might have been, precipitated. For instance, we have Joe Wilson "leaking" to the press the idea that the Yellowcake documents (of which the CIA had a hand written copy) were forgeries placed in the files of the uranium mining firm in Niger by French intelligence.

Who died? Did the Belgian guy who did the copying meet his demise?

There are several other "leaks" in this case to which Judge Tatel may have been referring.

Notice that ALL the Plame "leak" accusations are included in his decisions ~ the "leak" that causes him to lock up Miller is not!

the "leak" that causes him to lock up Miller is not! ""

So what do you infer from that?

The extent of Fitzgerald's investigation is revealed by who has appeared before the Grand Jury. This is about the Plame leak and nothing else.

If some WH official had actually leaked Plame's name--and she was at the time a covert officer--and it had been done intentionally to cause harm--then hell yeah, that is a serious crime.

And that was the initial allegation. But it turns out it didn't happen that way.

The fantasists are having a field-day. Next week they will have forgotten all about it and be on to other fantasies. (Oddly, their fantasies are always bad for the GOP or the US in general.)
