Joseph Wilson and his wife, Valerie Plame are preparing to file a civil suit against Bush administration officials.
Plame was the covert CIA agent allegedly unmasked by the White House. Now she is preparing to file a civil lawsuit against the Bush administration officials who may have disclosed her identity and scuttled her career, Salon.com reported Thursday.
"There is no question that her privacy has been invaded. She was almost by definition the ultimate private person," said the couple's attorney, Christopher Wolf.
Wolf said the couple would make a final decision on filing a lawsuit after special prosecutor Patick Fitzgerald has completed his investigation, Salon said.
If they do sue, Wilson and Plame could be the first litigants to depose senior White House officials since Paula Jones, an employee of the state of Arkansas, sued President Bill Clinton.

We have already "discovered" that Joe Wilson is a pathological LIAR.
She's been saying that for awhile .. referencing Delay, Cheney .. now her speechwriter doesn't have to charge her for new words.
He can't unless the action took place before he became President (Clinton) and was not a part of his official duties (Agnew). Her suit would fail on both counts.
Someone, anyone...has this ever been established as fact? Or is it just a myth/lie perpetrated by the MSM?
We are dealing with two separate definitions of "covert".
Valerie Plame had been a NOC -- non-official cover -- i.e., covert, from a professional standpoint. And the protocol would be "once a NOC...always a NOC".
But there is also a legal definition, for the purposes of the Intelligence Identities Protection Act. And she almost certainly did not meet the requirements for a covert designation under the IIPA.
Did that muddy it up sufficiently for you?
Or: Underestimating one's foe.
Or:Wading in water which is over your head.
Thank God someone else sees all this turd party crap! You all are welcome to your mostly uninformed opinions... but if you're gonna hi-jack these threads... PONY UP!
Hi Tex!
BUMP. You're right, but will our GOP majority go along with that?
Realistically, I don't see how. Anymore than I believe that Tim Russert will come up to the plate an be Karl Rove's alibi by telling the truth(see attached link to Tom Maguire's post)

Can you say counter suet for his comments and writings?
Could this be a sign of who is about to be indicted? Plame or Wilson?
I just don't know. Heck if this is the standard for committing a crime then arrest Kerry for outing a real undercover agent on live TV.
Agree with you. Discovery should be very interesting.
Game on PING!
Culture of Corruption and CRONYISM."
