If Libby's version is the truth, there is certainly an argument to be made that it was unethical, but as Sam pointed out, everything Joe Wilson did proceeded from an unethical act- failing to disclose his wife's connection to his trip. His assertion, of course, is that she was a secret agent and he could not disclose the connection without exposing her. In and of itself, I believe his use of the law as a defense for disclosing his conflict of interest is unethical. And that's what makes this case so interesting- it shows how the world of politics and media really work.
