This is a somewhat complicated isssue. On one hand, the whole idea of state secrets (including secret operations and secret agents) runs counter to democratic principles. How can the people decide on something that they don't even know about. On that basis, I'm inclined to say that a bad law ought not to be enforced, even if I would enjoy the irony of a Bush admin official prosecuted under a state secrets act.
However, these things don't happen in a vacuum. The Plame affair was part of the coverup for the botched campaign to find a pretext for the Iraq war. The consequence of war always includes death and sending civilians and soldiers to their graves for phony reasons is absolutely unpardonable. What the Plame leakers did ought to be seen in this light. The only question is whether prosecuting them for revealing a secret agent's name is sufficient punishment. I tend to think not, but it might be a start.
