ARMITAGE QUESTION

Now that he has come forward and revealed that he was a source for both Novak & Woodward, I am puzzled by this remark from the WaPo:

Armitage said that he learned about Plame's employment from a State Department memo that did not mention her covert status, and that he had no knowledge of it at the time. In 40 years of reading classified materials, Armitage said in a telephone interview, "I have never seen in a memo . . . a covert agent's name."

The only memo we know about clearly marked Plame's status as secret, so why didn't the WaPo reporter ask Armitage which memo he was referring to?
