Ex-Deputy Secretary of State New Figure in CIA Leak Probe By Kenneth R. Bazinet and James Gordon The New York Daily News Saturday 20 May 2006 Washington - Former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage has emerged as a key witness in the CIA leak probe, the Daily News has learned. Armitage has been questioned several times, but is not expected to be indicted by the federal grand jury investigating who outed CIA spy Valerie Plame to journalists in 2003, sources said. Armitage's testimony could hurt Vice President Cheney's indicted former chief aide Lewis (Scooter) Libby, or President Bush's political guru, Karl Rove. Two sources familiar with the case said Armitage, Rove and Libby all had contacts with the press about Plame. Unlike Rove and Libby, Armitage appears to have tried to dissuade reporters from writing about her. Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald recently had to sneak Armitage into a Washington courthouse to get past reporters - a sign of his value in the case, according to one source. "Rich has been cooperating with Fitzgerald since day one," said another source, who has close ties to Armitage. "He was one of the first people to offer his testimony." Armitage's office said he was was not available to comment. Rove has testified five times as a subject of the grand jury probe. Even if Rove escapes indictment, he could still be forced to resign for talking about Plame with a Time magazine reporter. "People don't seem to want to talk about the possibility that Karl could be named an unindicted co-conspirator," a third source close to the case said. "Can an unindicted co-conspirator remain at the White House? Personally, I don't think so." Plame is married to former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, who criticized President Bush's reasons for ousting Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. -------
