My Comment: The cat is out of the bag on this one. The consequences from this disclosure is going to impact America's security from top to bottom. No one .... and I mean no one .... is going to work in any sensitive post for the U.S. Government (let alone the CIA) .... knowing that their identities can be disclosed to the public.
When Valerie Plame's identity was disclosed to the public .... there was an outcry on finding out who were the person(s) responsible for this disclosure. The mainstream media led the charge .... and the Democratic Party pushed for the special prosecutor to investigate this case. people like Vice Presdient Chielf of Staff Scooter Libby went to jail, and the reputations of numerous others were tarnished.
Will the same happen now .... the answer is obvious .... no. The White House has their fingerprints all over this crime .... but with the mainstream media in their pocket and Congress firmly in their control, there is going to be no investigation and no media outcry.
