(CBS) There were new developments Thursday in the federal investigation of who leaked the identify of a CIA operative and blew her cover.
As CBS News Correspondent Gloria Borger reports, it turns out a key portion of a two-year-old State Department memo that is now at the center of the controversy was classified and that could mean leaking it was a crime.
At the time the State Department wrote its memo, the administration's key rationale for war in Iraq was crumbling. No weapons of mass destruction had been found and some key intelligence used to make the administration's case had proven false. An internal war raged inside the administration over who was to blame.
The state department's 2003 memo was written to make one thing clear: don't blame us. But what now interests a federal grand jury is a single paragraph in that memo identifying "Valerie Wilson" as a CIA employee and the wife of former ambassador Joe Wilson, who had gone to Africa to investigate Iraq's nuclear capability.

This SeeBS news matron, Gloria Borger, was having way too much fun giving this report, and smiled broadly at the end. SeeBS couldn't lay off this story today. I think it was the third story on their lame news!

Legal experts told Borger that the special prosecutor may be focusing in on charges of perjury rather than the original crime of leaking classified information. Interesting. Who are these "legal experts"? Some law professor spouting off in Law Hall? Or someone who actually has knowlege of the case?

Jeez, louise...they don't give up, do they?
They REALLY, REALLY want to use this to impeach Bush, also.
Although, now, I think they will try to us Gitmo and Abu Gharib to get President Bush...I don't know.

Is there anyone in the world who didn't know? By all accounts Valerie P was the most famous secret agent since Rocket J. Squirrel.

Wouldn't it be funny if this backfired on them, and it implicated their favorite guy, Colin Powell, instead of Rove??

That "(S)" next to the restricted access paragraph doesn't necessarily mean that Plame's name was the restricted access item. The rules are that if anything in the paragraph is restricted access then the paragraph (or page) gets marked. That means someone else or something else that WAS secret could have been mentioned. As least as best as I understand.
