This is what spies spend most of their time looking for: the casual, careless remark. "Loose lips sink ships." Armitage should be charged with a breach of security, even if the remark was inadvertent. Novak should face a stiffer charge, because he put the info into print very deliberately.

Let's see, who is authoritarian: someone who points out that since it was known that no crime was committed, that any further "investigation" amounted to a witch hunt or someone who demands that the full power of the Federal government be dropped on someone after it was known that <i>no crime had been committed?</i> Look in the mirror much?
