Long-Rumored State Dept. Memo on Plame Surfaces

First described in the Wall Street Journal last year, this leak confirms that the document is even more damning than it was purported to be. Plame’s name appears in an individual paragraph marked “S //NF” which means SECRET-NO FOREIGN (Top Secret), and shows that she is a “WMD Manager” for the CIA. This document circulated among Bush admin members including Karl Rove, just before Rove leaked Plame’s covert CIA identity to Matt Cooper and Robert Novak.
