namely, was the (CIA outing/removal of highly classifed docs) illegal per se, or was the intent of the party relevant to the equation.
Of course, all the notable players have flipped sides.

Not at all. If Berger did something verboten, he did something verboten. The defense of him is an appeal to prosecutorial discretion -- it's a stupid offense to prosecute, and what he's getting is certainly worse than the crime. Would that Plame's outers had the same willingness to come forward and acknowledge what they did.
