Thanks. Yes, she and I have discussed that and how to interpret it--there was a thread on it here where I posted some comments. It seemed to me like Foley was disassociating himself from any direct supervisory authority for Plame's actions, but his comment didn't really give enough information to determine whether he had any indirect authority over her in the chain of command, and unfortunately he indicated that he did not want to be contacted for follow-up comments that might clarify this.
