Plame affair
See Plame scandal timeline, Plame affair
In 2003 and 2004, intense speculation about Libby centered around the possibility that he may have been the administration official who "outed" Valerie Plame, an undercover CIA agent for political gain. In July of 2005, Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper revealed that Libby and George W. Bush deputy chief-of-staff Karl Rove were the first to disclose Plame's identity.
Trivia
Libby's current office in the Old Executive Office Building was formerly the office of Theodore Roosevelt when he was Assistant Secretary of the Navy during the Phillipine-American War.

The Other Traitor Indentified so far:
Stephen Hadley
Stephen John Hadley (born February 13, 1947) is the current National Security Advisor for U.S. President George W. Bush. He had been Assistant to the President and Deputy National Security Advisor from January 22, 2001. On November 16, 2004, it was announced that he would replace Condoleezza Rice as National Security Advisor, upon Rice's confirmation as Secretary of State, which occurred on January 26, 2005.
Hadley served as a senior foreign and defense policy advisor to then-Governor Bush during the 2000 presidential campaign and worked in the Bush-Cheney Transition on the National Security Council.
Previous to this position, he was a partner in the Washington, D.C. law firm of Shea & Gardner and a principal in The Scowcroft Group, Inc., an international consulting firm.
Hadley served as the Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Policy from 1989-1993. In that position, he had responsibility for defense policy toward NATO and Western Europe, on nuclear weapons and ballistic missile defense, and arms control. He also participated in policy issues involving export control and the use of space. Hadley served as Secretary of Defense Cheney's representative in talks led by Secretary of State James Baker that resulted in the START I and START II Treaties.
Hadley previously served in a variety of other capacities in the defense and national security field, including serving from 1986-1987 as Counsel to the Special Review Board established by President Ronald Reagan (AKA the “Rapist”) to inquire into U.S. arms sales to Iran (the "Tower Commission"), as a member of the National Security Council staff under President Gerald Ford from 1974-1977, and as an analyst for the Comptroller of the Department of Defense from 1972-1974.
Hadley has been a member of the Department of Defense Policy Board, the National Security Advisory Panel to the Director of Central Intelligence, and the Board of Trustees of Analytical Services, Inc. ("ANSER"). His professional legal practice focused on business problems of U.S. and foreign corporations particularly as they involve international business, regulatory, and strategy issues. He received a B.A. degree from Cornell University in 1969, where he was a member of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, and a law degree from Yale Law School.
On July 22, 2003, Hadley offered his resignation to Bush because he had "failed in that responsibility" and that "the high standards the president set were not met." Bush denied Hadley's request. Hadley admitted fault in allowing a disputed claim about Iraq's quest for nuclear weapons material to be included in Bush's 2003 State of the Union speech (see Yellowcake forgery). In 2002, Hadley was a member of White House Iraq Group.

Testimony By Rove and Libby Examined
Leak Prosecutor Seeks Discrepancies
By Carol D. Leonnig and Jim VandeHei
Washington Post Staff Writers
Saturday, July 23, 2005; Page A01
pecial prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald has been reviewing over the past several months discrepancies and gaps in witness testimony in his investigation of the unmasking of CIA operative Valerie Plame, according to lawyers in the case and witness statements.
Fitzgerald has spent considerable time since the summer of 2004 looking at possible conflicts between what White House senior adviser Karl Rove and vice presidential staff chief I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby told a grand jury and investigators, and the accounts of reporters who talked with the two men, according to various sources in the case.
Libby has testified that he learned about Plame from NBC correspondent Tim Russert, according to a source who spoke with The Washington Post some months ago. Russert said in a statement last year that he told the prosecutor that "he did not know Ms. Plame's name or that she was a CIA operative" and that he did not provide such information to Libby in July 2003. ...
The prosecutors have appeared keen to see if they can fill in some gaps in Rove's memory about how he learned about Plame, and they have repeatedly asked witnesses if Rove told them how he knew about Plame. Rove testified early in the investigation that his information about Plame came from Novak, his attorney said. Rove testified he also may have heard about her from another reporter or administration official who had heard it from a reporter, but he could not recall the second source of his information, his attorney said.
