AP: Questions, Answers on CIA Leak Probe

[RSchewe]

I read this a little earlier and it seems to be a pretty good guage of where a lot of the info stands and some answers to some basic questions.

A little sample:

Q. What is the significance of a classified State Department memo that mentions Plame and the dispute over the Iraqi intelligence?

A. The memo has become an important piece of evidence because it could have been the way someone in the White House learned - and then leaked - the information that Wilson's wife worked for the CIA and played a role in sending him on the mission.

The document was prepared in June 2003 for Secretary of State Colin Powell so that he would have an account of Wilson's trip, a retired department official has said. It was sent to Air Force One, the president's plane, because Powell was traveling with the president to Africa.
