One other thing. Wilson's wife wasn't out in the field as an operative. She was an analyst at Langley, and that information could have been ascertained by anyone who followed her to work. We are not talking about revealing the identity of a spy overseas.

If President Bill or President Hillary had a staffer doing this over the CIA challenging the Sudan aspirin factory, you wouldn't complain right?

That is the meat of what I am asking. Say like I said earlier, that the CIA sent a man to Sudan, and he reported that it wasn't a weapons plant. George Stephanopholus retaliated by leaking to David Broder, that the agent's wife was a CIA employee. It wasn't proven, but everybody was pretty sure he did it, and it is against the law to reveal an agent, be they an analyst, undercover agent, or what have you.

What would your reaction be? The same as now? No big deal, let's forget about it? It is either right or wrong to do this. Not right for the (R) wrong for the (D). I just want to be clear on this when the rats do this.

You are parsing in a manner that the CIA won't give a damn about. There is a fundamental principle at stake here that the CIA will not compromise. Their very lives depend on it and if you think this is just gonna go away, you are wrong.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember back 3-4 months ago,an article which indicated that the White Househad requested the FBI to investigate this! Does anybody else remember reading that?
