Are you trying to say that an accidental leaking is as bad as an intentional, vindictive leak? If so, that's pretty funny and sad that people can think in such narrow, political tracks that they can't see the difference. Sure, someone should (and probably is) being held accountable over the slip-up but it's hardly comes up to the level of a scandal like when Valerie Plame was purposely outed.
"is as bad as an intentional, vindictive leak?' There was NO such thing. Ask Fitzgerald.
"The U.S. government has accidentally named the top spy in Afghanistan on a memo given to reporters accompanying President Barack Obama on a surprise visit to Kabul. The memorandum included an individual named as ‘Chief of Station’ - the title given to the top CIA officer in a given country. It was immediately retracted, and a new memo was issued. The security breach was first reported late yesterday evening by the Washington Post, which declined to name the officer publicly for fear of putting him or his family at risk."
Robert Novak revealed Plame's status as a CIA operative in his Washington Post column, hardly accidental at all.
Nope, wrong person. Richard Armitage revealed her identity, the independent counsel found this out quickly but choose to continue the witch hunt hoping to nab Cheney or Bush.
Keeping with USG Policy, someone in the White House should be charged and sent to prison for divulging classified information.
Who went to prison for divulging classified information? The jury found Libby guilty of perjury, obstruction of justice and making false statements but Bush issued him a Grant of Executive Clemency that commuted the prison terms. Did someone else go to prison that I'm not aware of?
