This is nothing but bad for the White-house. The original defense was that this info was obtained from reporters. Now, a link is being established - Tenant, Cheney, to Libby and Rove.

If they had received the info from reporters, I could really see how they produce this info and could claim not knowing her CIA status. If her info came through formal channels, in my opinion, it is doubtful administration officials didn't know here status.

I have always despised this type of leaking of info and it should be prosecuted. That being said, the prosecution should be consistent; send a prosecutor out after all the senators who have been leaking classified info for years!!! There are many instances where top-secret intelligence capabilities were leaked by senators - these leaks had far reaching consequences that actually damaged US interests (I find the claim that leaking Plame's name had any actual harm to Us interests).

I want to Senators frog-marched out of the Capitol and put in jail where they belong!

The woman recommended her husband Wilson for the mission.

She was already an active participant - and if you ask me conspirator, given Wilson's actions - in the game.

This isn't some political adversary they went digging dirt on - this is the woman who recommended her husband for the mission. She is right in the center of the entire story.

It just seems a bit silly that they would not know her name, or refer to her by name, or be expected not to refer to her, especially given she was not covert anyway. What should they have called her "secret agent X".

This is typical liberal nonsense blown out of proportion by a media that has lost all sense of normalcy and rationality.
