2. Plame was an undercover agent. Outing her = treason. |
|
Illegally spying on Americans is a federal crime; the USC calls for impeachment.
I'd say both are very serious crimes.

a person with knowledge of that crime is doing a service by reporting it. Plame was not committing a crime, therefore it was against the law to out her.
What is so difficult about figuring that out?
