What's All the Fuss About the CIA Leak?

I can't understand what all the fuss is about regarding the leak of a CIA undercover operative along with her cover business and the operatives attached thereto. When there's a larger cause at stake, everyone should be prepared to take one for the team.

To begin with let's try granting the most egregious scenario possible from a liberal perspective. Let's say that someone like Rove or Libby leaked the CIA identity of Plame in order to slam Wilson, take attention away from Wilson's criticism of the push for war, and discredit the notion that no Weapons of Mass Destruction (henceforth, WMDs) existed in Iraq.

Well, aren't CIA operatives like Plame and her co-workers prepared to make a sacrifice? Because that's exactly what happened. Our President was heading toward a war, and Wilson's going around and spreading his findings about Nigeria was just proving to be a distraction to the successful prosecution of that war. So, really, the exposure of Plame and any colleagues who shared her cover enabled them to play a crucial role in America's war effort, serving as a sacrifice so that the war could proceed unhindered.

If you look at it from this perspective, rather than viewing herself as a victim of a vindictive administration, Plame should be thanking whoever leaked her identity to the press because doing so really makes her a hero: the first American sacrifice in the war with Iraq.

And so what if there aren't any WMDs in Iraq? It should be obvious from the above model that that's just a matter of truth making a sacrifice for the greater good. And if truth is willing to take one for the team, gee-whiz, liberals should just back off.
