"Former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage on Thursday acknowledged being the original source in the leak of a CIA official's identity . . ."

"Armitage was the first person to discuss the identity of former CIA official Valerie Plame with reporters . . ."

"Knowingly disclosing the identity of a covert CIA agent is against the law . . ."

So why isn't this putz in jail?

There was never a crime committed for 2 reasons:

1. The leak was not intentional

2. The agent was not covert or undercover at the time.
