There are a number of caveats wrapped around this law that will make it
very tough to prove, not the least of which is that she was a "covert"
agent.

To quote your own source (above):
"Rove apparently told Cooper that it was "Wilson's wife, who apparently
works at the agency on [weapons of mass destruction] issues who
authorized the trip," according to a story in Newsweek's July 18 issue."
I'm afraid the phrase "who apparently works at the agency" is a bit far
removed from "covert agent".

I don't believe Carl Rove is a nice guy but neither do I believe the
"charges" are anywhere close to being proven. In fact, only the press
has announced "charges". The prosecutor has the case and hasn't said
anything. If he's got somthing solid let him make it stick. I'll
support him.
ps: Scott Mclellan is the press secretary. He can't "lie to the press"
because he hasn't a clue about what's really going on whether the
Repbulicans are guilty or not. No press secretary is in the inner
circle. He just says what he's told as best he can. Tough job.
