Plame's Identity Marked As Secret

quote[A classified State Department memorandum central to a federal leak investigation contained information about CIA officer Valerie Plame in a paragraph marked "(S)" for secret, a clear indication that any Bush administration official who read it should have been aware the information was classified, according to current and former government officials.]

Don't listen to the righties who tell you that she was just a desk jockey. This is a serious matter, and the fuckers who outed her committed a serious crime. Not only was she compromised, so were her overseas contacts as well as anyone connected with the front company she was associated with.

Nearly everyone in the CIA winds up behind a desk at some point in their careers, but that is not necessarily a permanent position. This outing effectively destroyed her career.
