The indictment showed that Libby began seeking information about Wilson and his wife in late May 2003, some six weeks before Plame's identity was publicly disclosed in a July 14, 2003, newspaper column by Robert Novak.

It appears that Libby first learned that Wilson's wife worked at the CIA -- and that she was involved in organizing his trip to Niger -- on June 11 or June 12, 2003 in conversations with the undersecretary of State and a senior officer at the CIA, who were not identified by name. The undersecretary referred to in the documents is Marc Grossman.

2. Grossman background

Grossman was appointed Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs by Bush. That position is the third highest ranking position at state and the highest "career diplomatic" position. Grossman began serving at State as a career diplomat back in the 1980s and received appointments to various positions from both Democratic Presidents and Republicans.

Grossman resigned in January of this year. Hmmmm.
