"Plame Considering Suing Armitage"

[GreenPartyVoter]

WASHINGTON (AP) - Former CIA officer Valerie Plame is considering suing the recent No. 2 State Department official in a case accusing members of the Bush administration of conspiring to leak her identity to the media, Plame's attorney said Tuesday.

Official State Department calendars, provided to The Associated Press under the Freedom of Information Act, show then-Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage held a one-hour meeting marked "private appointment" with Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward on June 13, 2003.

That was the same day Woodward met with a confidential source who spoke to him about Plame, according to a person familiar with information gathered by prosecutors. The person spoke only on condition of anonymity because the material remains sealed.

Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has investigated whether Bush administration officials intentionally revealed Plame's identity as a one-time CIA covert official. Nobody has been charged with the leak but former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby has been accused of lying to investigators and to a grand jury.

6. huh??

Plame and Wilson are headline hogs according to you? Good God I wish they were...
I wish they were getting more headlines instead of this whole disgraceful mess being shoved back into the closet.
Good on them for doing this...

7. My, my -- sick of Plame and her "headline hog" husband, are we?

Well, I'm not. And neither are most DUers. We actually care about this partisan punishment against a covert agent, and her "headline hog" husband who's been brave enough to stand toe-to-toe with this Administration.

Lots of dueling statements in your post... so which is it?
