Richard L. Armitage : ウィキペディア英語版
Richard Armitage (politician)

Richard Lee Armitage (born April 26, 1945) is an American former naval officer and a Republican politician who was appointed the 13th United States Deputy Secretary of State at the State Department, serving from 2001 to 2005 under George W. Bush. He has acknowledged that he publicly released the classified information that Valerie Plame Wilson was a secret agent for the CIA, triggering the Plame affair, although he has said it was inadvertent.
==Early life and military career==
Armitage was born in Boston, but graduated from St. Pius X Catholic High School, in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1963. In 1967 graduated from the United States Naval Academy with the rank of ensign.
He served on a destroyer stationed off the coast of Vietnam during the Vietnam War before volunteering to serve what would eventually become three combat tours with the riverine/advisory forces for the Republic of Vietnam Navy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 "Deputy Secretary of State Richard Lee Armitage" (bio) )〕 According to Captain Kiem Do, a Republic of Vietnam Navy officer who served with him in Vietnam, Armitage "seemed drawn like a 'moth to flame' to the hotspots of the naval war: bedding down on the ground with Vietnamese commandos, sharing their rations and hot sauce, telling jokes in flawless Vietnamese".〔Do Kiem and Julie Kane, ''Counterpart: A South Vietnamese Naval Officer's War'', ISBN 1-55750-181-5, 1998, p. 164〕 Instead of a uniform, Armitage often dressed in native garb. He adopted a Vietnamese pseudonym, "Tran Phu", based on an arbitrary, but personally relevant translation of his real name.〔
Several associates who fought alongside Armitage and other politicians (including Ted Shackley)〔Mann, James 2004. ''Rise of the Vulcans'' Viking Press ISBN 0-670-03299-9, page 42〕 have since claimed that Armitage was associated with the Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) clandestine Phoenix Program.〔 Armitage has denied a role in Phoenix and has stated that—at most—CIA officers would occasionally ask him for intelligence reports.〔James Mann, 2004. ''Rise of the Vulcans'' Viking Press ISBN 0-670-03299-9; p. 43〕
In 1973, Armitage left active duty and joined the office of the U.S. Defense Attache in Saigon. Immediately prior to the fall of Saigon, he organized and led the removal of South Vietnamese naval assets and personnel from the country and out of the hands of the approaching North Vietnamese. Armitage told South Vietnamese naval officers to take their ships to a designated place in the ocean where they would be rescued by U.S. forces and their ships destroyed. When Armitage arrived at the designated location he found 30 South Vietnamese Navy ships and dozens of fishing boats and cargo ships with as many as 30,000 Vietnamese refugees.〔Mann, James 2004. ''Rise of the Vulcans'' Viking Press ISBN 0-670-03299-9. p. 52.〕 With transportation options limited for removing the floating city, Armitage, aboard the destroyer escort USS ''Kirk'', personally decided that humanity required him to lead the flotilla of ships over 1000 miles to shelter in Subic Bay, Philippines, in 1975. This went against the wishes of both the Philippine and American governments. Nevertheless, Armitage personally arranged for food and water to be delivered by the U.S. Defense Department before negotiating with both governments for permission to dock in Subic Bay.〔〔
