Then-Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage met with Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward in mid-June 2003, the same time the reporter has testified an administration official talked to him about CIA employee Valerie Plame.

Armitage's official State Department calendars, provided to The Associated Press under the Freedom of Information Act, show a one-hour meeting marked "private appointment" with Woodward on June 13, 2003.

Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has investigated whether Bush administration officials intentionally revealed Plame's identity as a one-time CIA covert operative to punish her husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson, for criticizing the administration's march to war with Iraq.

When contacted at home Monday night, Woodward declined to discuss his meeting with Armitage or the identity of his source in the CIA leak case. Instead, he referred to his statement last year that he had a "casual and offhand" discussion about Plame with an unidentified administration official in mid-June 2003.

And the story continues.

Plame considering suing Armitage
By MATT APUZZO, AP

Former CIA officer Valerie Plame is considering suing the recent No. 2 State Department official (Richard Armitage) in a case accusing members of the Bush administration of conspiring to leak her identity to the media, Plame's attorney said Tuesday.

Plame has sued Vice President Dick Cheney, White House aide Karl Rove and Libby, saying they leaked her name to punish her husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson, for criticizing the administration's march to war with Iraq.

*Cheney, Rove, Libby and Armitage? Oh come on Val, you mean that's it? I mean, let's not leave anybody our here. Sue the president and his entire cabinet while you're at it, and hell, let's go for broke. Sue the entire GOP Congress, the White House staff, Bo Diddley and Mickey Mouse. They're all in it together, right Val? The vast right-wing conspiricy strikes again! Maybe you better get Hillary in on this, and allow me recommend a good law firm. There's two of 'em and they're on TV here every night and here's their ad:
Folks, do you have the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu? If so you have cause for a lawsuit. We'll fight for you until the cows come home! Call the Whoop & Holler Law Firm, and remember, we don't get paid until you do.
:rolleyes:

Hey! Cool it Greyjack. I told you not to tell anyone about Bo Diddley. Jeesh!

[qrayjack]

I told you not to tell anyone about Bo Diddley. Jeesh!

I know, I know! I blew it. But at least I didn't mention those secret lyrics in Buddy Holly's "Peggy Sue" that reveal Valerie Plame's top secret CIA superspy status and... oops. :o

[Luckyme]

Shhhhh :whisper: Don't mention Plame's name for any reason or she'll sue you. :yes:

[rangerrebew]

Bo Diddley!! :coquet: Whoa just a minute! Is that Bo Derrek's code name, did she out Plame? Gee, this is getting good. I'm sure it must be Bo Derrek because I think it, therefore it is. :chdance

:D :D :D

grayjack - thanks -- I really need that.

A conservative with a sense of humor? Congrats - but afraid we'll keep hearing crap about the "outing" at least until her book comes out.

Valerie Plame (clerk at the CIA) and Joe Wilson (Ambassador to Gabon for a couple of months - now there is a credential for you!) are Cheesy and sleazy bit players on a cheap political stage who in reality amount to nothing more than a couple of pimples on the posterior of progress.

I was probabaly exposed to more classified information in one military operation than Valerie was in her entire not-so-clandestine wannabe spy career at the CIA.

She was "outed" by her husband who could barely keep from soiling his Fruit of the Looms over the fact his wife had anything to do with the CIA. So much so he frequently bragged about it.

It's time for Joe and Valerie to understand their 15 minutes of fame (or infamous 15 minutes) is over.

Now Dave, are you sure that you aren't talking about some other sleazy, worthless, two bit, cheese balls? People in Washington have integrity and are honorable people, after all. :barf:
