Even if she wasn't at that point, it's possible that revealing that she once was undercover compromised some of the contacts she made when she was. > Furthermore, some guy named Armitage was the source of the leak, > not anyone in the administration. Armitage was an official in the State Department. And just because he was Novak's first source (Karl Rove was the second) doesn't mean that anybody else knew that he leaked it, or that they had carte blanche to release the information about Plame even if they knew about the first leak. If a Democratic administration had leaked the name of an agent, we'd never hear the end of people like the Weekly Standard telling us how it showed that Democrats don't care about national security. But when Republicans do it, going after them is a "malicious prosecution." Maybe they should be the Weekly Double Standard. -Jerry Wolper [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
