Why are you buying the Wilson/lib line that this was classified information on which lives depended?
First, the very first part of the article this thread is based on says:
It's the top story in the Washington Post this morning as well as in many other media outlets. Who leaked the fact that the wife of Joseph C. Wilson IV worked for the CIA?
What also might be worth asking: "Who didn't know?"
And, as I just posted a link to Novak's latest comments, Plame was not a spy, under-cover or any of that. She was an analyst.
