Valerie Plame "worked" for this company:

en.wikipedia.org

"Compounding the damage, the front company, Brewster-Jennings & Associates, the name of which has been reported previously, apparently also was used by other CIA officers whose work now could be at risk, according to Vince Cannistraro, former CIA chief of counterterrorism operations and analysis. Now, Plame's career as a covert operations officer in the CIA's Directorate of Operations is over. Those she dealt with -- on business or not -- may be in danger. The directorate is conducting an extensive damage assessment. And Plame's exposure may make it harder for American spies to persuade foreigners to share important secrets with them, U.S. intelligence officials said."

How exposing her and the front company isn't a crime is beyond me.

Correction. She worked on classified information, but she wasn't under cover at the time.

I understand you disagree with that as well.

Edit - I'll change the statement again. There is no solid evidence that she was working under cover at the time when her employment by the CIA was revealed. The statement "she wasn't under cover at the time" is too strong, it implies more certainty then I can actually have.
