I'm not sure what that has to do with anything. Outing a covert agent also risks outing other resources in the area, or sources and methods. In any case, it was clearly not a good idea for Scooter Libby to reveal her identity to Bob Novak.

"In any case, it was clearly not a good idea for Richard Armitage to reveal her identity to Bob Novak."

Let's keep the established facts straight.

Otherwise, since you're ignoring my statement that she was no longer a covert agent when this happened, I'm not sure what's the point of your reply.

The point of my reply is that it remains dangerous to publicly out a covert operative even after they've been pulled back to a desk job.

Richard Armitage is also accused of leaking Plame's identity, and first, but that didn't make it less of a crime for Libby to do so as well.
