Plame’s identity marked as secret
Memo central to probe of leak spelled out information’s status

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.

According to her own husband, Plame was not on any "clandestine" operation when the Novak piece came out.
Furthermore, if the prosecution can verify what Karl Rove claims, that is if it can be verified that it was in fact Matt Cooper who brought Plame's name to Rove, then it was Cooper who violated the law, not the other way around.
Again, if we're seeing this memo
now, then the prosecution saw it a while ago. I'll take his word for it.
