From that article: Intelligence officials confirmed to Newsday yesterday that Valerie Plame, wife of retired Ambassador Joseph Wilson, works at the agency on weapons of mass destruction issues in an undercover capacity - at least she was undercover until last week when she was named by columnist Robert Novak.

Ok, so the law was broken there. The intelligence source who talked to them broke the law by confirming. Could possibly somebody other than the person to talk to Novak. It could get convoluted. Once Novak let the cat out of the bag, another CIA source might have confirmed to them, which leaves another agent on the hook for a felony.
