Plame to Sue Former State Official over Leak?

AP reports that outed CIA undercover operative Valerie Plame is mulling whether to add a former Deputy Secretary of State to her suit against Bush administration figures involved in leaking her identity.

The wire service revealed yesterday that Richard Armitage, who served under former Secretary of State Colin Powell, met with the Washington Post’s Bob Woodward in June. That’s “the same day Woodward met with a confidential source who spoke to him about Plame,” AP reports, surmising that Armitage is likely Woodward’s leaker.
