Cheney told top aide of CIA officer - report
I hope this doesn't come across the wrong way, but I actually kind of hope someone high up in the current administration goes down for this. The whole issue of the leak was highly illegal - and it's about time someone faced the consequences of their actions. I don't know about anyone else, but despite claiming to be upright and claiming to care about morals and values, I think this is one of the shadier administrations in recent history.
Everything is covered up, nobody is ever wrong about anything. It's just not possible, especially since there is quite a bit of evidence to suggest the opposite. Oh, don't forget, if you happen to bring any such evidence to light, you will suffer. Just a friendly "warning", mind you, not a "threat". Nobody is above the law. Especially not ranking members of a party that claims to take crime seriously.

The leak itself probably wasn't a crime. Under the Espionage Act (or whatever the fuck it's called) the disclosure must be knowing, meaning that Cheney/Libby/Rove had to have subjectively known that Plame was an undercover officer. Apparently, it's doubtful that they did. But as always, it's the cover-up that fucks you. If there's going to be an indictment, Fitzgerald has a stronger case for obstruction of justice.
