It doesn't if Rove said her "name" or not....he identified her. Look at it this way....say you have an undercover cop who goes by the name of "John Smith". He's out in a bar and some guy he bought dope from earlier and who was arrested knows he is an undercover cop but doesn't know his real name goes and tells his buddies that this guy is a cop. He didn't reveal his "name" but he revealed his identity, which is what Rove did.

But to take it one step further, what the Bushies did was punish someone with a contrary opinion to theirs by threats and intimidation. Oddly, one thing that is missing from this debate is the accuracy of Wilson's findings. And that is inexcuseable.
