The obvious reason was that she wasn't covert. If she was a covert agent then Fitzgerald would have charged Armitage.

Its the obvious reason, but its not the only reason. I recall reading at the time that the reason no one was charged with leaking Plame's name was that Fitzgerald couldn't prove that Armitage or Libby knew that Plame was covert. That was a necessary element of the crime.

Why don't you post a link to the law your referring to so we can all read it. To be honest, I think it's high time we had a look at it and if you guys don't have any context as to what law was allegedly violated in revealing the covert agents status I'm not sure why we're discussing this.
