This quote from the OP interests me greatly:

Novak's secret cooperation with prosecutors while maintaining a public silence about his role kept him out of legal danger and had the effect of providing protection for the Bush White House during the 2004 presidential campaign.

Since Plame's identity was already known all over the world, and since other countries will now be more reluctant to help us in our fight against terrorism, my decision on which offense was more significant is clear.
It's also clear to me that the Post and the Times have much greater concern about their circulation than the safety of Americans, or the fight against terrorism.
