You "out an agent" and commit a crime as soon as you tell someone who doesnt have a security clearance regardless of whether they publish the story. The whole world doesnt need to know. Just one person who is not supposed to. Say a spy gets the information, are you saying it doesnt matter as long as the American public dont know?
More than likely these idiots Rove and Libby are going to get indicted for perjury. Libby in particular may have to explain how he lied to his written notes since his grand jury testimony supposedly said he heard about Wilsons wife from reporters.
