    I think he promised to fire the person, and that is already moot.

    I don't think that anyone will ever be prosecuted for actually leaking the name of a covert agent. To do so would probably require the testimony of the CIA that the person was actually a covert agent and they are never going to officially confirm or deny that. It puts too much more at risk than has already been risked.

    Hello!!!!! Richard Armitage "outed" Valerie Plame. Why the hell wasn't he prosecuted? Because Fitzgerald couldn't prove that the law was broken. Scooter wasn't guilty of outing anyone. Plame wasn't covert. Could you at least get it right?

    First you have to turn off CNN and get the facts of the case correct. She was NOT a CIA agent on asignment or in the field. That's a big thing to overlook. Scooter may have lied, but he's far from being a traitor. Screw it, talking to you guys is like talking to a wall. You'll never get it.

    You'd have a real point if Libby had been charged with the disclosure of Plame's identity.

    Since he wasn't, you don't.

    He promised many things, he flip-flopped all over the place on that issue.

    He is a pathological liar, so whatever he did promise, he will do the opposite.
