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.
Notice nobody claimed she ever had a phone on her desk.
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.

MSNBC:
“The employment history indicates that while she was assigned to CPD, Plame, “engaged in temporary duty travel overseas on official business.” The report says, “she traveled at least seven times to more than ten times.” When overseas Plame traveled undercover, “sometimes in true name and sometimes in alias — but always using cover — whether official or non-official (NOC) — with no ostensible relationship to the CIA.”
-— end —
Sorry, this is not “covert” under the meaning of the law.
Finally, the Fitzgerald filings shed some new light on Valerie Plame Wilson’s job status at the CIA. In an exhibit attached to the sentencing memo, Fitzgerald reveals that at the time her name was published by columnist Robert Novak — July 14, 2003 — Mrs. Wilson was moving into an administrative position at CIA headquarters. “In August 2003, Ms. Wilson was assigned to a senior personnel position in CPD [Counterproliferation Division], where she supervised staffing, recruiting, and training for CPD,” the document says. “She had been selected for this position prior to the leak.”

So, let me get this straight, her COVERT status was disclosed in an UNCLASSIFIED document?
MSNBC is just lying. Covert is basically meaningless. If it weren’t, Libby would be awaiting sentencing for that. I hope the President pardons him. He deserves it.
