HOW TO PROSECUTE THE PLAME CASE WITH JUST WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW

Good stuff. Former federal prosecutor Elizabeth de la Vega says the pundits are wrong about prosecution in the Plame case:

Pundits right, left, and center have reached a rare unanimous verdict about one aspect of the grand jury investigation into the Valerie Plame leak: They've decided that no charges can be brought under the Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982, because it imposes an impossibly high standard for proof of intent...Do you have to intend to harm a CIA agent or jeopardize national security in order to violate the Intelligence Identities Protection Act? The answer is no.
