Plame leak shameful no matter how the White House spins it.

Josh Marshall's latest column in the Hill newspaper maps out why the latest argument in defense of "the leak" is ridiculous. If the official who leaked former Ambassador Joseph Wilson's wife's name to the media didn't know she was a CIA operative, how does that make the act any better? In fact, it's a gross act of incompetence which could've jeopardized an agent and national security. This official wouldn't have known that though, because supposedly they didn't even know her title at the CIA.

This act is simply unacceptable, and the fact that the people involved haven't been fired yet speaks to how this White House operates, and just how much this president really cares about "changing the tone."
