An unclassified summary of outed CIA officer Valerie Plame's employment history at the spy agency, disclosed for the first time today in a court filing by Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, indicates that Plame was "covert" when her name became public in July 2003.
The summary is part of an attachment to Fitzgerald's memorandum to the court supporting his recommendation that I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Cheney's former top aide, spend 2-1/2 to 3 years in prison for obstructing the CIA leak investigation.
The nature of Plame's CIA employment never came up in Libby's perjury and obstruction of justice trial.

That was classified?
If so, why wasn’t Armitage charged with an actual crime? This is BS
“The nature of Plame’s CIA employment never came up in Libby’s perjury and obstruction of justice trial.”
Yes it did, the judge kept it out show Libby was railroaded.
Known as the CIA’s Who’s Who in America operative.
So she was covert when she illegally disclosed her CIA status to her boyfriend on something like the third date?
Where was the prosecution of Miss Plame for leaking?
“Covert” is CIA-speak for “employed by us”. BFD.
show = it shows that (?)
Notice nobody claimed she ever had a phone on her desk.
If Fitzgerald had a chance to make a leak charge stick he certainly would have filed it.
Also, nobody is jumping on this obvious perjury:
Fact-Checking Valerie Plame Wilson, Pt. 1(Plame lied to Congress-Under Oath)
Well OK then! We now know that Plame was covert and have known that Dick Armitage then Colin Powell were the leakers.....................Hello? hello?......guess nobody’s home at the MSM.
Sounds like jail time for Richard Armitage.
“Plame worked as an operations officer in the Directorate of Operations and was assigned to the Counterproliferation Division (CPD) in January 2002 at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia.”
So as a covert CIA officer, her cover was...a CIA employee?
Why is this suddenly relevant when Fitz claimed through the trial it wasn't? Because she couldn't continue in her CIA position? Who's fault is that? Armitage and the CIA officer who confirmed her employment and did not claim she was covert in talking to Novak, that's who. Or 007 Plame herself, who involved herself and her husband in a CIA hit on the Bush administration by running this operation to Niger, having "Ambassador" Joe write his NYT hit piece and sign on as a Kerry adviser. Look in the mirror, babe.
You know, time to face the music for the Libby supporters and the Wilson supporters. Plame WAS covert. That’s why this was such a big deal. Libby, Armitage, etc. weren’t prosecuted for outing her because of national security reasons. Her cover was compromised. The agents who used Brewster-Jennings as cover were compromised - you can read about them on the Internet.
And the idiot/traitor who started it all was Joe Wilson. He knew his wife’s status, and he went out of his way to compromise it for his own glory. Wilson, Libby, Armitage, and all the others - a pox on all of them. They all think their petty little political games are more important than national security.
