No names, but Rove was leaker

' Cooper said Mr Rove told him that Mr Wilson's wife had worked at CIA
on weapons of mass destruction issues and ended the call by saying:
"I've said too much."

[Cooper] wrote : "Was it through my conversation with Rove that
I learned that Wilson's wife worked at the CIA ...? Yes. Did Rove
say that she worked at the 'agency' on 'WMD' ? Yes. Is any of
this a crime? Beats me."   '


So Rove and 'Scooter' Libby are apparently the leakers, but what 
national interest if any was served by their leaking?  Just political
payback?

What crime if any was committed and what does it matter if 
President Bush can just pardon them anyway?

Interesting.
