More and more this is looking trivial, though one never
knows. The
Washington Times again shows its superiority to the Washington Post by informing us
that the CIA is required by law to refer possible criminal disclosures of identities to
the Justice Department, and refers about 50 per year. The story also says,
Mrs. Wilson, who has worked overseas, is now assigned to CIA headquarters at Langley as
an undercover officer working on issues related to weapons of mass destruction.
My question remains: After Novak printed the information that she works for the CIA, who
leaked the information that she is a *covert* operative for the CIA? If Smith reveal
that somebody is a janitor at the CIA building, and then Jones reveals that the janitor
also goes on spy missions to North Korea, I would think it is Jones who is
culpable.
