In general for a moment, legality and ethics don't always protect you. Good judgement does.
Specific to this issue. The Administration has not been found guilty of outing Plame, but they certainly sent a message to everyone in the CIA. I don't pretend that politics is pretty or for the weak.

No, I would not say it was because she was wearing attractive cloths and looked nice. I would say it is more like, kicking a pitbull while wearing high heels rather than running shoes with the scent of raw meat behind your ears.
