Link to 'Identities Protection Act': CIA outers face 10 years behind bars

[SaintLouisBlues]

People have cited the Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982
as applicable to the CIA outing, so I thought I'd post a link.

On another thread, it was noted that this law was passed by Repukes who had accused Frank Church of outing an agent in the course of
the CIA scandals of the early '80s.

4. might be able to include a terrorism charge in there as well

since it has impacted our WMD tracking program apparantly.

5. Ooh, a law passed by republicans coming back to bite them in the ass!

How droll!

6. It ain't gonna bite 'em on the ass.

You're forgetting the Republican Exemption clause in the legislation.

Ashcroft's DOJ & FBI, a lapdog press (soon to be filled with some drivellous distraction) and you think somebody's going to jail?

7. Who thinks anyone is going to jail? Way too early

You're right that they will fight this like hell. Here's hoping your prediction fails.

8. Arent these the guys who prefer

mandatory sentencing guidelines to subvert part of the judicial process?

9. A present for the WH leakers:
