As I responded to Alan:

It is only a crime if the CIA agent is covert or has been covert in the past 5 years. The same holds true for those working in other governmental capacities in COVERT positions. She was NEITHER. It was much longer than that and she had a desk job since. Even if he had divulged her as a CIA agent (which he technically did not do), it was not illegal nor was it treason. It was however, DESPICABLE and he should have been fired and barred from working for the government in the future.

>What?? Just so you know, revealing the identity of a CIA operative in the field is a crime. It is called Treason and severy penalized. Do you have any idea of the seriousness of the act? In this particular case, we may never know how many people were tortured and lost their lives because they talked to her years ago.
