Intelligence Leak Hurt US Spy Community

Certainly. I would think that leaking of a CIA operatives identity would hurt morale and make others question their motives if they believed that they would be exposed. That's why Libby was prosecuted and if anyone else was found to have leaked it, they should be prosecuted as well.

Intelligence gathering is a very sensitive operation and morale has to be as high as possible at all times. They need to know that they are working for a greater good and that those in power won't reveal state secrets or their identities. Libby was found guilty for his portion of this crime and he needs to be severely punished for his role. If Bush, Cheney, Pelosi, or any other person in power knew of this and did nothing or, worse, they need to be thrown in prison for a very long time.
