The jury verdict hasn't come in yet, first of all. If *he* wins (and if I've got this right) then his story is that he learned about Valerie Plame's identity from the press and was just chatting about it, not the other way around. If the prosecutor wins, then he's more clearly on the hook for disclosing her identity as an agent (although the charge against him now is simply "perjury" for lying about that).
If he loses the lawsuit, then he still probably wouldn't be called a traitor because he revealed Plame's identity to American press, not directly to the enemy. It's a fine line, but a line nevertheless.
Commentators keep talking about whether, if Libby loses, Bush will pardon him. I think that would be the nail in Bush's public-opinion coffin, myself.

It has not been proven as a fact just yet. Besides, the wrong man is being charged. Hows about charging the real loud mouth, Dick Cheney. Libby was his talking puppet and we all know that. How anyone could cover up for the shooter is beyond logic. Cheney is sitting back with that s** eating grin on his face saying, I GotEm Again. I would beleive any car sales person on this earth before I would beleive Cheney. He is Weasel family.

Why isn't mutha charged with treason for telling the New York Times Our troops committed murder before it was done being investigated.Why isn't hillary,boxer,carter charged with being traitors for dealing with the enemy who said they would wipe us and Israel off the face of the Earth?
Why did sandy berger get away with stealing federal documents and destroying them so the 911 commission wouldn't see them. Answer these ???, They are much more important then Libby mentioning a name of a woman who wasn't even undercover anymore when he mentioned her name! GOT IT!

Only the identity of "field agents" is secret. Annalist's and administrator's identities are not secret, especially after they leave the CIA.
