It depends on what the meaning of "name" is...

Point taken, as long as she was covert at the time the info came out. Still, for Rove to be criminally liable, he had to know she was undercover and have deliberately outed her with the intent to do harm.

There are still more sides to the story though. Washington is a small place, and the press corps there is incredibly lazy -- one radio guy yesterday likened them to zoo animals waiting to be thrown scraps. The place runs on rumor and off-the-record conversations. One of the current tidbits going around is that Rove found out that Plame was undercover from a reporter, which means that the leak had already occurred. Also, the reporter who is in jail for protecting her source is still in jail, even though Rove has released her from confidentiality. Who is she still protecting, if Rove is the leak?
