Plame's Identity Marked As Secret

I am currently reading the book written by Plame's husband, Ambassador Joseph Wilson "The Politics of Truth", about this whole ordeal. In short, the Bush administration outed Ambassador Wilson's wife because he would not endorse falsified documents stating that Niger was selling nuclear materials too Iraq.

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.

Plame -- who is referred to by her married name, Valerie Wilson, in the memo -- is mentioned in the second paragraph of the three-page document, which was written on June 10, 2003, by an analyst in the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR), according to a source who described the memo to The Washington Post.
