Judge rules secrecy limits in Libby CIA leak case
Federal Judge Reggie Walton ruled that the identity of another government official who disclosed a CIA operative's identity to reporters remains sealed. Libby may access his 2003 2004 notes but not highly classified presidential briefs without risking executive privilege. The case centers on how Libby learned of Valerie Plame's identity and when he told reporters ahead of a January 2007 trial.
