CIA Asks for Probe of Valerie Plame Leaks
MSNBC and NBC report that the CIA has asked the Justice Department to open an investigation of the White House regarding leaks in the Valerie Plame case:
The CIA has asked the Justice Department to investigate allegations that the White House broke federal laws by revealing the identity of one of its undercover employees in retaliation against the woman's husband, a former ambassador who publicly criticized President Bush's since-discredited claim that Iraq had sought weapons-grade uranium from Africa, NBC News has learned.
Josh Marshall at TalkingPointsMemo and Mark Kleiman has been covering the story since the beginning. Steve Perry's Bush Wars has a lot of related links.
