Former CIA officer to sue Cheney

Former CIA officer Valerie Plame and her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, today said they had decided to sue Vice President Dick Cheney and presidential adviser Karl Rove because they engaged in a “whispering campaign” to destroy her career.

Plame told at a news conference she trusted the government to protect her and that the government “betrayed that trust. I’d much rather be continuing my career as a public servant than as a plaintiff in a lawsuit".
