Well, he wasn't indicted for leaking classified info. He was indicted for misleading investigators about whether he discussed Plame with reporters. That's only "serious shit" if what he misled the investigators about was material to a crime. And there was no underlying crime - as you know, Libby is the only one who was indicted for <i>anything</i> in this whole sorry affair. And it's not for lack of Fitzpatrick trying, either - he had Rove testify something like five times.
This doesn't mean it's not a crime to mislead investigators, but what's at stake in this trial is much, much less than you're saying.
Since you apparently heard the openings - what did Wells say? What's his story?
