Trial lawyers in Palm Beach, Fla. have a leak scandal almost as good as Valerie Plame's.
Libby later said that he had forgotten how he had first heard of Plame.
So, it's not about a law being broken here, and it's not about Valerie Plame-Wilson's name.
Now we're going to take a look at a major figure in the Valerie Plame affair.
We do know that Karl Rove leaked the name of Valerie Plame to reporters.
The indictment details seven alleged discussions Mr Libby had with officials about Ms Plame.

"I am extremely disappointed, " said Ms Miller, who never actually published an article on the Plame case.
He was accused, at least, by Valerie Plame and her husband, Joseph Wilson, of leaking her name.
Mr Luskin said Mr Rove's e-mail to Mr Cooper said that Ms Plame had authorised the trip.
Plame Wilson rejected claims that her role at the CIA not covert when her identity was leaked.
The publication of Plame's name in Robert Novak's syndicated column in July 2003 prompted a formal inquiry.
Wells said Libby, who resigned in October 2005, took the fall for leaking Plame's identity to the media.
Libby told FBI investigators that he had learned of Plame's identity from NBC's Washington bureau chief, Tim Russert.
A. operative Valerie Plame (Naomi Watts) and the former ambassador Joseph Wilson (Sean Penn) are loyal public servants.
But sources told CNN that Novak was among as many as six journalists who were told Plame's name.
After all, it was not Mr Libby who first told Mr Novak, the columnist who outed Ms Plame.

And they all testified that they had told Libby about Valerie Plame's identity.
But the investigation didn't get underway until Plame's name appeared in journalist Robert Novak's syndicated column in July 2003.
It's the man who is behind the investigation into the leak of Valerie Plame's name: special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald.
Novak has said two senior administration officials gave him the information about Plame.
This may have made it impossible for Mr Fitzgerald to prosecute for the underlying offence of outing Ms Plame.
The case against Libby stems from an FBI investigation into the 2003 leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity.
The agent in question, Valerie Plame, was undercover when the leak took place.
Libby later said that he had forgotten how he'd first heard of Plame.
Fitzgerald also said Russert contradicted Libby's version of events, saying that neither Plame nor her husband, Joe Wilson, were discussed.
In 2003, journalist Robert Novak reported that Valerie Plame was a CIA agent, ending her career as a covert operative.
The CIA operative, Valerie Plame, was named in a July 14 syndicated newspaper column by journalist Robert Novak, a CNN contributor.
Libby told FBI investigators that he had learned of Plame's identity from a third journalist, NBC Washington bureau chief Tim Russert.
The Justice Department, at the CIA's request, is investigating whether anyone in the administration broke the law by leaking Plame's name.
In his column, Novak attributed the information about Plame's involvement in Wilson's trip to Africa to two unnamed senior administration officials.
