The CIA confirmed to the Justice Dept. that the agent's identity was classified.

Leaking that identity violates at least TWO felony laws... and endangers our Intelligence efforts.

As to who leaked the identity - that's what the investigation will be for. As I understand it, they are starting with the people who knew her identity (in the CIA) and working forward.

Still, we have all those reporters who were called, and the info dangled before them. Surely the reporters know who they were speaking with.

The reports from the reporters who were called (& Novak, who was not called, but spoke directly with WH officials) indicate "two high ranking Administration officials".
