U.S. District Judge John D. Bates dismissed the case on jurisdictional grounds and said he would not express an opinion on the constitutional arguments.

Armitage is the person who leaked the information - its well known now that he cut a deal with the prosecutors to help them get Libby. The prosecutors had no real case since her classification was not considered secret when he outed her - but he's the one that did it and they don't sue him?
Is it because he was a Clinton hold over?
