Here is a similar set of statements from a TIME.com piece:

The CIA triggered the Justice inquiry with a memo saying that there may have been an unauthorized disclosure about the wife of Joe Wilson, a former U.S. ambassador.

[...]

The CIA is required to notify Justice if it believes there may have been an unauthorized disclosure.

There is a certain pro forma feel to the procedure, but again, that may be the reportage.
