Confirmed, CIA did do a damage assessment...

Great article by Larisa Alexandrovna and she reported this long time ago...

From my article then:

"Intelligence sources would not identify the specifics of Plame's work. They did, however, tell RAW STORY that her outing resulted in "severe" damage to her team and significantly hampered the CIA's ability to monitor nuclear proliferation.
Plame's team, they added, would have come in contact with A.Q. Khan's network in the course of her work on Iran.

While Director of Central Intelligence Porter Goss has not submitted a formal damage assessment to Congressional oversight committees, the CIA's Directorate of Operations did conduct a serious and aggressive investigation, sources say.

Intelligence sources familiar with the damage assessment say that what is called a "counter intelligence assessment to agency operations" was conducted on the orders of the CIA's then-Deputy Director of the Directorate of Operations, James Pavitt. "

Update from WaPo confirming the rest of my article:

"No one would describe details of her overseas activities, which remain classified, or her last job within the CPD -- other than to say that her work included dealing with personnel as well as issues related to weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and Iran."
