Ooh they sent a message to the CIA alright. But the message is "We only pay lip service to actual national security, and we'll play scorched earth politics with our agency personell if it helps our partisan causes.
Plame worked on WMD issues under her front company. That work and the likely millions that went into it are now ruined and lost forever. All because the Admin wanted to 'send a message'?
Is this something you really want to defend?
Also, the Administration HAS been found guilty of outing Plame. Two counts of perjury, one of obstruction of justice, and one of making false statements to federal investigators.
