Plamegate Lives!

Perhaps Joseph Wilson will get a chance to see Karl Rove "frog marched out of the White House."

NBC News reports that the CIA has asked the Justice Department to investigate the allegation that someone affiliated with the White House leaked the identity of Wilson's wife, an undercover intelligence agent named Valerie Plame, in order to strike back at him for penning an op-ed piece in the NY Times which accused the administration of manipulating intelligence to justify war with Iraq.

Update: The Washington Post follows up with a more detailed story which contends, according to a "senior administration official," that "two top White House officials" shopped Plame's identity around to at least six Washington journalists back in July.
