to intentionally blow Plame's cover

"There were two memos. One written for Grossman on June 9 or 10 and one written on July 7. There were virtually the same save for two differences. The dates were different and the name Valerie Wilson was changed to Valerie Plame in the July 7 version. Valerie Plame was her NOC name.

Grossman may have inadvertently started the whole outing of Plame. He was filling in for Powell and wanted to brush up on the Niger/Wilson trip for a (WHIG) meeting? Things were heating up with reports of Wilson's trip in the media and he did not know much about the event. So he requested the report from Carl Ford. Ergo the June 9 version.

What must have happened during the the time span between the two versions of the memo was that someone from WHIG (Bolton) did a run up on Valerie Wilson and discovered that she was NOC under the name Valerie Plame. When the second version (July 7) was requested for the Africa trip her name was changed in the memo from Valerie Wilson to Valerie Plame. The only reason for that would be to intentionally blow her cover."
