Someone can be photographed in public and still be a covert agent, you fucking moron. Most CIA agents aren't how they're portrayed in the movies. They appear to be normal people living normal lives working for normal companies, which is what Plame was. Outing her as agent endangered anyone who had associated with her in the past, or at least opened them up to suspicion. What kind of chilling effect would that have on other people considering either working for the CIA, or working with a CIA agent?

I thought Richard Armitage is the one who leaked Plames name?

He and a couple others did to Novak, who published the article.
