So...

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?

I would think the fact that Novak called her an "operative" -- not an "employee" -- would be enough.
