Legal Documents in CIA Leak Case Confirm Status of Plame

by on

Following up on February 4, 2006 posting, VP Informed Libby About Plame Identity, Michael Isikoff reports The CIA Leak: Plame Was Still Covert.

  • From February 2005 opinion written by U.S. Circuit Judge David S. Tatel (via No Quarter): “As to the leaks’ harmfulness, although the record omits specifics about Plame’s work, it appears to confirm, as alleged in the public record and reported in the press, that she worked for the CIA in some unusual capacity relating to counterproliferation. Addressing deficiencies of proof regarding the Intelligence Identities Protection Act, the special counsel refers to Plame as “a person whose identity the CIA was making specific efforts to conceal and who had carried out covert work overseas within the last 5 years”—representations I trust the special counsel would not make without support. (8/27/04 Aff. at 28 n.15.)”
