No, she was not covert - She was in a classified position (which is different) - However the fact seems clear this case should not have been prosecuted -- However, once prosecuted Mr. Libby seems to have foolishly tried to spin to the GJ (when he didn't need to at all!).

Covert agents can cycle in and out of covert status. They do take breaks for family & personal reasons...especially from overseas assignments. While they are on hiatus they work at the CIA offices or elsewhere. During that time their status is classified so that they can return to covert status when needed.
