In her column in today's Slate about the presidential candidates' legal advisers, Emily Bazelon writes:
"[Victoria Toensing] a supporter of Scooter Libby ...argued that the law couldn't have been broken when Valerie Plame's cover as a CIA agent was blown because her status wasn't really covert. The jury who convicted Libby disagreed."

I posted the above quote and comment to Slates's The Fray. Why should sloppiness by columnists surprise me? Well, she is a lawyer, after all.
I have several earlier posts about Libby's sentence
