Well, that's interesting.

If the CIA agent has her cover blown, it might be entirely possible that there is no law broken, as you have suggested above.

However, certainly, the security of the USA has been compromised by this leak, don't you think? Here is a government that goes ballistic if a reporter even hints at their location out in the desert. 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.
