Fmr. Deputy Secretary Of State Armitage: I Was The Source Of The CIA Leak...
The former No. 2 State Department official said Thursday he inadvertently disclosed the identity of
CIA employee Valerie Plame in conversations with two reporters in 2003.
Confirming that he was the source of a leak that triggered a federal investigation, former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage said he never intended to reveal Plame's identity. He apologized for his conversations with syndicated columnist Robert Novak and Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward.
