The leak sparked one of Wa****ngton's most intense political witchhunts.
Karl Rove, the president's closest assistant, and Lewis "Scooter" Libby,
vice-president Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, were both accused of
identifying Valerie Plame in revenge for an article by her husband -
former US ambassador Joseph Wilson - accusing Mr Bush of mishandling
intelligence to justify the Iraq war.
"The initial leak, seized on by administration critics as evidence of
how far the White House was willing to go to smear an opponent, came
from a man who had no apparent intention of harming anyone," Isikoff
writes in the magazine.
The revelation will shock observers in the capital, where charges of
perjury and obstruction of justice are pending against Mr Libby, and Mr
Rove's role in the affair is still under investigation.
