Still love to taunt, don't you.

The key word in these statutes as I read them is "intention." Not being there, neither of us knows for certain. But there are ways to address that. Let's say that, most innocent interpretation, whoever talked with Novak did not "intend" to out here. Here's the problem with that. First, all of Novak's accounts confirm the person wished to use Plame's CIA identity to, at least, argue there was nepotism here. Now that argument cannot be made without some sort of identification as Wilson's wife as a CIA agent. Hard to see how this was not intentional.

But let's assume innocence again. He let it slip. Well, were that the case, he would have moved the proverbial heaven and earth to get Novak not to print it, etc. Novak does not report any of that.

So intent sounds like a reasonably strong argument.
