Alternately, Yes! her 'crime' of whistle blowing could be considered the lesser evil when compared with the 'security services' bugging the United Nations.
The government have neither confirmed nor denied her claims, merely stated that she has abused her position of trust. They believe she has broken the law, but Tony Blair has stated that the security services have not. Informed opinion from the UN and elsewhere appears to be that bugging the UN would be a breach of the international treaties under which it was set up. One could assume that Mr Blair's claim must mean that the bugging did not take place (or he has a completely different view of the rule of law)
