Do you read what you post?
If Armitage learned from a memo that she was a CIA employee, but the memo didn't say she had an undercover status, he couldn't have known she was an undercover agent. And the law only criminalizes knowingly disclosing the identity of an undercover officer. So, rather than being a 'traitor,' he's not guilty of violating any federal law.

Well, yes, he could have, from other sources, including the person who gave him the memo, and it is hopelessly naive (or disingenuous) to assume that he did not. But even if he didn't, it would still be have been reckless, bordering on criminal, to reveal Plames CIA connection without making an effort to find out whether she had undercover status.

Yes, totally innocent. Assuming the memo itself wasn't classified - which the article doesn't mention.
Totally innocent. So it's just a coincidence that it took three years for him to admit this publicly, after a grand jury has dragged in all kinds of witnesses, and a criminal indictment was issued months ago.
Just an innocent coincidence that he didn't come forward when Bush declared that he wanted to get to the bottom of this. Guess it didn't really seem worth mentioning in the intervening years.
And the nice fat job Armitage will soon receive from a subsidiary of Halliburton, or a firm owned by the Carlyle Group, completely unrelated.
