"The request to DOJ was a routine matter of policy and such requests occur whenever a CIA employee is named in public."

Can't you ever tell the truth? Oh, right. A lawyer. It is your job to lie.

The CIA considered her identity to be classified.

The CIA sends a letter to the Criminal Division of the Justice Department noting “a possible violation of criminal law concerning the unauthorized disclosure of classified information,” according to a letter from the CIA’s Director of Congressional Affairs.

This is bolstered by the fact that the CIA had set up a dummy company, Brewster-Jennings & Assoc.

And there was even a state department memo which claimed her identity was marked 'secret'.

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.

There is every reason to believe that she was covert. And nothing but nutball fantasy to think otherwise.
