Because no crime was actually committed. Plame was not covert. The person that wrote the law even said that this outing was not covered under the law.

Good question! For the same reason the talking heads who were subpoenaed, and caught contradicting themselves on the stand were not prosecuted for perjury! For the same reason that the prosecutor wasn't disbarred from wrongful prosecution, after all the original issue, allegedly uncovering a covert operative, was a Sham as she was not in covert ops at the time! This guy ought to be disbarred just like the dude in the DUKE rape case! The only ones raped in that case were the Innocent players who were wrongfully prosecuted for political gain.

My understanding of it was that he came clean quicker than Libby did. The last person to 'fess up got it. Seems like a good idea to me. Libby should have been smart and excersized some self-preservation a little bit quicker.
Those reporters were morons for allowing the administration to use them. Good thing they were morons with good notes... Too bad the president doesn't have to obey the law, and can just pardon people who break it for him. I hope there are other people who are outraged about that, because it is a very big problem.

Because it was an Oopsy (Armitage was not part of the plot) and the reporter he blurted it to did not publish it, unlike Robert Novak the Traitor.

That's the beauty of this whole friggin' debacle. There was no crime committed, yet Libby was convicted about lying about the non-crime.
Selective persecution.

because valorie plame was not a person who it was illegal to say the identity of. she was not a covert agent, therefore leaking her name was not illegal,.
