Judge Walton's fatal error in Libby case

Byron York writes about the judges attempt to maintain a fiction that Valeria Plame status at the CIA was not something that would be at issue in the Libby case. This despite numerous questions put to Libby himself in the grad jury proceedings. The issue was clearly deemed material when Libby was questioned, but it is not material at his trial?

One of the major problems with this faulty logic is that if she was not covered by the statute prohibiting leaks, then any statements about her status made by Libby would not and could not be a material misstatement of fact since they were irrelevant.
