If so, were the actions of the Vice President's office criminal in regard to Wilson's New York Times piece and the outing of Plame's identity as a CIA operative?

Yes. The special investigation seems to have been competently done and has identified who was responsible for the deliberate leak.
The outing is a civil crime in that it has destroyed Plame and Wilson's careers. What country will trust Wilson in a diplomatic capacity and allow Plame to join him? The outing has cost them their chance to serve their country further and their future financial earnings. They deserve compensation for that.
According to Time magazine, the uncovering of an active CIA operative is a Federal crime. The outing has cost the US their effective services. So whoever was responsible for the outing is also guilty of a federal crime and has damaged the country's undercover capacity.

No. Joe Wilson, in his entry in Who's Who?, stated that his wife worked for the CIA. Now he wants to sue Rove, Cheney, and Libby for saying the same thing? What kind of dunce is he anyway?

No
This is a non issue. Joe Wilson hates the President and the administration. He wants to hurt them anyway he can.
A civil lawsuit wouldn't work due to the fact that civil courts wont recognize what transpired as a crime.

Yes, they are still citizens of the USA. It is still a free country and we have freedom of speech. It works both ways for all of us. We can all agree to disagree that's what makes this a great country.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."

he's the decide who replaced into assigned to the case. And from the ruling, he replaced into superb as a count of regulation. there have been federal statutes that presented immunity to the governmentofficers named as defendants. study his ruling. He really suggested that what got here about to her replaced right into a foul project, and that he replaced into not ruling on the benefits of the case. He replaced into purely handling the procedural subject matters, which required dismissal. I favor people can provide up attempting to make this a partisan project. The decide followed the regulation because it replaced into surpassed by skill of Congress. and that i favor people can provide up bashing judges for following the regulation. The decide isn't the fellow who wrote the regulation.
