Leaking With a Vengeance

Did someone in the Bush Administration unmask a CIA spy to punish her
husband for challenging the case for war? A classic tale of whispers,
retribution and rivalries
By Michael Duffy I Washington
Posted Sunday, October 5, 2003
It is easy to imagine that Valerie Plame had it all, even if no one
was allowed to know it. She was smart and beautiful and disarming,
married to a former ambassador and the 40-year-old mother of
3-year-old twins. Best of all, she had a job that let her try to save
the world. At least she did until July 14. That's when her role as a
cia spy tracking weapons of mass destruction (WMD) was revealed by
columnist Robert Novak after two Bush Administration officials leaked
her identity to him. Her exposure was more than just a personal
tragedy, though it was certainly that too. "Her career as an
undercover operative is over," says former CIA officer Jim
Marcinkowski, now a prosecutor in Royal Oak, Mich. He was a classmate
of Plame's during the year rookie spies spend at the Farm, the Camp
Peary, Va., school where CIA recruits learn how to read code and sneak
through checkpoints and memorize secret documents. At the Farm, Plame
stood out, he recalls, for being the best shot with an AK-47 in the
entire class. "She will no longer be safe traveling overseas," he
says. "I liken that to the knee-capping of an athlete."

Pssst ... You might think this Washington leak investigation will
peter out like most others, with no culprits and no penalties. But
here's why this one may be different
By Evan Thomas and Michael Isikoff
NEWSWEEK
Oct. 13 issue — In Washington, so-called leak investigations—formal
inquiries by the Justice Department into the publication of classified
information—are like endless replays of the movie "Casablanca": the
authorities round up the usual suspects, nothing much happens, and
life goes on.
