In that case, I stand corrected. I was remembering what I read at the time.

>Not correct. 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 treason. It was however, DESPICABLE and he should have been fired and barred from working for the government in the future.

>>Surely you're joking! Outing a CIA agent is on the books as a crime called 'treason'. Are you suggesting that when treason has clearly been committed, everybody should just sit back and say, "Oh, well, who cares who did it, it's only treason anyway." ???
