Former CIA Officer Sues Cheney, Others Over Leaked Identity
By VOA News
13 July 2006
A former CIA agent has sued several top officials, including
Vice President Dick Cheney and former presidential adviser
Karl Rove for their roles in the public disclosure of her
classified identity.
Former agent Valerie Plame and her husband, former U.S.
ambassador Joseph Wilson, also named Cheney's former chief
of staff Lewis "Scooter" Libby and 10 other unnamed senior
officials in Thursday's suit.
The suit alleges that the officials conspired to seek
revenge against Wilson for criticizing the administration's
reasons for invading Iraq.
One day earlier, the reporter who first revealed Plame's
status as a CIA officer acknowledged that Rove was one of
three people that provided him with the information. Robert
Novak also named former CIA spokesman Bill Harlow as a
source for the 2003 story. Novak said he is unable to reveal
the third person's identity.
The report triggered a criminal investigation to determine
who was responsible for revealing Plame's identity.
A grand jury is investigating whether Bush administration
officials leaked the information as revenge against Wilson.
Wilson traveled to Niger in 2002 on behalf of the CIA to
investigate reports that Iraq had tried to buy uranium from
the west African nation.
The administration used these claims as part of its reasons
for toppling Saddam Hussein, despite Wilson's assertions
that he found no evidence of any such transactions.
Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief-of-staff, Lewis
"Scooter" Libby, has been charged with perjury and lying to
investigators for his role in the scandal. He will go on
trial next year.
Some information for this report was provided by AP and
Reuters.

For detail on the political scandal, see Plame affair
Valerie Elise Plame Wilson[1] (born April 19, 1963 in
Anchorage, Alaska) was a United States Central Intelligence
Agency officer, who was identified as a CIA operative in a
newspaper column by Robert Novak on July 14, 2003. The
ensuing political controversy, commonly referred to as the
Plame affair, or the CIA leak scandal, led, in late 2003, to
a Justice Department investigation into possible violation
of criminal statutes, including the Intelligence Identities
Protection Act of 1982.
Resulting from the October 2005 investigation, one of
President George W. Bush's closest assistants on national
security, and Chief of Staff for the Vice President Dick
Cheney, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, is now indicted on perjury
and obstruction of justice.
