In a "CRIMINAL" court of law (which none of any involved may ever get to see) that they would need to be presumed innocent untill proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt but it's not so in a civil court. They don't need to be convicted beyound any reasonable doubt to be found guilty & blame can be awarded in percentages. She could be 10% to blame herself just because she had the job knowingly that she could be hung out to dry but some body(s) 'IS/ARE' 90% quilty & they need to be brought to bare the their share of the guilt.

Carol C says it far better above that the CIA is an awful & criminal bunch but it's not just a case of whistle blowing. It's a case of a US Ambassador telling the truth & getting punished for it. That in it's self was his real crime not where his wife worked. The Bush Administration is guilty of being stupid enough to use her job as a form of pay back & not realizing (really no thought at all) that it would come back to bite them on the ass & that's their crime.
