when she married Joe Wilson. So, as Sidney Blumenthal pointed out in his profile of the case at Salon.com today, when you say, "Wilson's wife sent him" you're essentially saying, "Mrs. Wilson sent Mr. Wilson." In other words, Rove did name Mrs. Wilson--by name!

1. "I didn't say her name!" is the Ken Mehlman defense

It is totally bogus. The statute is the Intelligence Identities Protection Act.

Whoever, having or having had authorized access to classified
information that identifies a covert agent, intentionally discloses any information identifying such covert agent to any individual not authorized to receive classified information, knowing that the information disclosed so identifies such covert agent and that the United States is taking affirmative measures to conceal such covert agent's intelligence relationship to the United States, shall be fined not more than $50,000 or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.

To disclose "any information identifying a covert agent" you obvious don't necessarily need to reveal the agent's name.
