"The law says that to be covered by the act the intelligence community has to take steps to affirmatively protect someone's cover," one official said. "In this case, the CIA failed to do that."There does seem to be a rush of articles aimed not simply at discrediting Wilson but specifically at arguing that there is no legal basis for a prosecution of the folks who leaked Plame's name. Who's so concerned? It makes me wonder.
A second official, however, said the compromises before the news column were not publicized and thus should not affect the investigation of the Plame matter.
I wonder when we're going to get the results of Fitzgerald's investigation into this. I suspect we are going to be robbed of Joe Wilson's wish to see Karl Rove frog marched from the White House in handcuffs.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
