No. >Should the person who leaked Valerie Ps name be prosecuted? If a crime was committed yes. Valerie Plame, however, was the wife of an ambassador - so I still question just exactly how "undercover" she really was. Furthermore, my understanding is that the law specifies that the person must *know* that they are outing an undercover agent to have committed a crime. So, if a crime was committed, yes they should be prosecuted. I think that Ashcroft's recusal from the case should indicate that the investigatino is proceeding unimpeded. >Should there be an investigation of Halliburton's profiteering (by the way that is > what is called and in the past profiteers were tried for treason). Yes. And indeed there already is. And indeed an independent investigation by the NY Times did not find any evidence of profiteering.
