Security agencies all over the world are now quietly running Plame's name through their data banks, immigration records and computer hard drives as the White House leak scandal continues to percolate.

Which means if one theme of the Administration leak scandal concerns political vengeance--did the White House reveal Plame's identity in order to punish Wilson for his public criticism of the case for war with Iraq?--another...
