A Senate committee is seeking tougher penalties for government officials who knowingly release the identity of undercover intelligence agents, in an apparent reaction to controversy in recent years over officials in the Bush administration disclosing the identity of CIA officer Valerie Wilson.<\/p>\n

Penalties for officials who learn an agent’s identity then disclose as a result of their access to classified information would increase from five to 10 years.<\/p>\n
