“Plame’s lawyers asked a federal appeals court Friday to send the case back before the judge and force him to consider its merits.”
Consider its merits? That’ll take about 5 seconds.
I’m not an Attorney and I’m no fan of Joe Wilson’s - but in my opinion - when you look specifically at the fact that a C.I.A. Agent’s name was published against the Agent’s knowledge or will, I think that Agent has every reason to be bring a suit. Take the “politics” out of this issue, and I think the case has merit.
I also think this letter is a good one. (many of the signees were GW supporters).
