One more thing. Not mentioning Plame by name is still identifying her. The law does not stipulate that she has to be specifically named, just identified. Joe Wilson only has one wife, so the identification would still be the same.
Also, when Clinton lied under oath about something not germaine to the case (his relationship with Monica), no national security was compromised, no political retribution was taking place, no abuse of power occurred, and this issue didn't concern the pretext for an expensive, bloody war. What's more is that Clinton was impeached for it. Shall we apply proportionate standards to Rove? What is Rove's potential crime compared to Clinton's? Shouldn't we take the situation that much more seriously?
Using the "yeah, but Clinton..." argument does not apply in this case because the crimes are not even comparable, nor are the positions of the accused. Clinton was the President and had to stand impeachment. Karl Rove is a minor official who would be easily replaced with minimum upheaval.
