Ah, gotcha.
Yeah, I don't think that it was wrong in that sense. I see it as a big "so-what?" substantively. It's news (but not Big News) in that it shows a certain level of hypocrisy. There was, according to Libby's testimony, direct authorization by the president and vice president of a leak of an NIE to a sympathetic reporter -- by an administration in which leaks were verboten.
