I'm a bit surprised to see this pop up again, and surprised that Slave is so obviously wrong -- and/or that he buys the whole idea that Wilson's wife being in the CIA would be a "motive" for him to slant his report. [Slave's incorrectness is usually more cleverly disguised.]

However, Ty, I've got to point out that, IIRC, the statute in question does require "intent" to expose the identity of a covert operative -- and thus, at a minimum, knowledge that Plame was undercover, as opposed to a regular CIA employee. That may be the issue holding up the indictments.

So, what's your deal Slave, you think Pat Roberts has sold out to the Democrats?
