""As an employee of the CIA," he writes in the preface to the paperback, "she could have no contact with the press without prior approval.""
And Plame's meeting with Kristof is only one of several meetings with reporters for which she had no approval.
As mentioned in the chronology, she also met with the Washington Post's Lieby and/or Pincus on the Fourth of July in 2003.
All of these meeting are security violations, and very much the kind of questions Plame would face from her regularly scheduled polygraphs.
In fact, it might be this rather than her claimed "post-partum" depression that brought about her subsequent year-long unpaid leave from the CIA.
You would think it if was for "depression" the CIA would have given her medical leave. But they didn't.
