Richard Armitage’s Role in Plame Case - Newsweek

The Man Who Said Too Much

The first leaker that said Valerie Plame worked for the CIA was Richard Armitage at the State Department. She worked to keep Weapons of Mass Destruction out of the hands of terrorists and Iran. There is some speculation that this is leaking now in the new book 'Hubris' to take pressure off of Libby and to embarrass Powell and the State Department. How much our limited Iran intelligence apparatus was harmed by the leaking of her status has yet to be revealed.
