Now, you have a person, who is at the heart of the administration, who leaks information that could have got the agent killed, and certainly blew over a year's worth of effort, and he might not even be charged.
Just bull$hit.

Which desert, the one in which bad guys are trying to kill American soldiers? Have you no concept of targeting?
The key question about teh CIA employee, as I understand the law (which is poorly, I admit), is whether the employee is involved in clandestine activities. If she was, then whomever let her identity out should go to jail. However, if she was not operation (as I understand the law) then revealing her identity is not important nor is it illegal. That is yet to be proven.
But there is a hint. The prosecutor has told Rove's attorney that Rove is not a target of prosecution.
