In order to not take any chances with violating the rule from the Post, the story is excerpted severely. But the main names are left out, so here are the two introductory paragraphs. The CIA agent's name is not included in the story, but if you want to know, you can find it at the thread posted yesterday--MSNBC.
Intro:
At CIA Director George J. Tenet's request, the Justice Department is looking into an allegation that an administration official leaked the name of an undercover CIA officer to a journalist, administration officials said yesterday.

The operative's identity was published in July after her husband, former U.S. ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV, publicly challenged President Bush's claim that Iraq had tried to buy "yellowcake" uranium ore from Africa, which can be used in nuclear weapons. Bush later backed away from the claim.

I am concerned that the President has ordered his minions to endanger national security by revealing the name and occupation of Wilson's wife because Wilson dissed the uranium report.

Now..Have I paid proper attention?Is this what I should take away from this?This story seems to have captured your attention.Let's see if the perps are outed or if the reporters are willing to tell.
