Frogmarch, Part 19

Defense 1: No controlling legal authority makes leaking the name illegal.
Defense 2: The name was leaked by someone else already, so any further statements were not making public the name of a secret agent.
Both defenses now work, so nothing wrong was done.
I think.

#1 doesn't depend on anything Armitage said.
As for #2, can it really be true that whether disclosing (a sort of) classified information is legal or not depends on whether someone else has disclosed it? Possibly, but I'll wait for Slave to quote the statute.
