A question for those more knowledgable about such matters than I...
I just saw something about a CNN special with Bob Novak; this is the same Bob Novak who released information about one of our CIA operatives overseas on international TV.
Last I checked that was 'treason' under US law...why is he not in jail for the crime of endangering the life of a national security agent? I'm very confused about that, is there some kind of loophole he's escaped through? Am I wrong in thinking that publicly releasing the identity of undercover agents is against the law?
I'll be on again tonight to see any replies, sorry I can't hang around.
