Plame Defenses Quickly Evaporating

Plame was important:

"CIA lawyers followed up the notification this month by answering 11 questions from the Justice Department, affirming that the woman's identity was classified, that whoever released it was not authorized to do so and that the news media would not have been able to guess her identity without the leak, the senior officials said."

Um...ouch. So much for "she was no big deal" and "everyone knew who she was."

Oh, and here's an opinion from a hardcore neocon in the know:

"This is a serious leak," former CIA Director James Woolsey said. "You can endanger intelligence and people's lives by revealing the identities of CIA case officers, so it's a serious matter."

So when are the apologists going to smear James "World War IV" Woolsey?

Better practice your hop, Karl.

Maybe they can argue what the word "leak" means
