Yes, the investigation should get to the bottom of it as quickly as possible. That will tell us if in fact she was an undercover agent or not, AND if the person/s who leaked knew she held that position. IF she did, and IF they did, then they should be and will be in jail.

Re sequence: John, this was on AOL news yesterday: The White House said that leaking classified information was a serious matter that should be ''pursued to the fullest extent'' by the Justice Department. ''There's been nothing, absolutely nothing brought to our attention to suggest any White House involvement, and that includes the vice president's office as well,'' presidential spokesman Scott McClellan said. 88888888888 The Justice Department is operating under no deadline for action, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. White House officials, at their senior staff meeting, were urged to contact Justice if they had relevant information, officials said. 8888888888888888 Novak said on CNN that his report was based on conversations with two senior administration officials while he was looking into Wilson's trip to Africa to investigate the uranium story. The officials told Novak that Wilson's wife had suggested the mission for her husband, the columnist said. He said the CIA confirmed her role and ''asked me not to use her name, but never indicated it would endanger her or anybody else.'' Wilson backtracked Monday, saying he had not meant to imply that Rove ''was the source or the authorizer, just that I thought that it came from the White House, and Karl Rove was the personification of the White House political operation.'' But Wilson also said, in a telephone interview, ''I have people who I have confidence in, who have indicated to me that he (Rove), at a minimum, condoned it and certainly did nothing to put a stop to it for a week after it was out there.'' 88888888888888 After Novak's column was published, the CIA's Office of General Counsel sent a letter in late July to the Justice Department, saying that a violation of the law had apparently occurred when someone provided Novak with the CIA officer's name. The letter was not signed by CIA Director George Tenet and did not call for a specific investigation of the White House. 888888888 aolsvc.news.aol.com
