LOL I can't believe you said that, but you ave answered your own question. <g>

"It's pretty simple logic but maybe willfully not comprehensible to one who desires to make unsubstantiated assertions as if they were proven facts."

The question of whether a crime h/b committed is a legal issue.

But lets talk about the publicizing of Plame's employment:

Who is it that made it public knowledge? Novak.

Where did he get that info? Armitage.

Are they guilty of committing a crime iyo?

If so, why weren't they prosecuted?

Mark, on any issue, it is impossible to prove a crime WASN'T committed. For example, I can't prove you didn't commit a crime on your computer five minutes ago. Or ten minutes ago. Or 30 minutes ago. Impossible for me to know or prove.

What's possible is law enforcement proving that a crime WAS committed. In the present case, they proved that Libby committed perjury.

But law enforcement could not prove any violation of the Identities Act had occurred. Law enforcement knew the facts and concluded that they couldn't prove a crime on that.
