	NPR : Plame to Appeal Dismissal of Suit in CIA Case
		Plame claiming they leaked her covert CIA status in retribution for her husband's public criticism of the administration.
		In 2003, Plame's husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson, accused the administration of manipulating intelligence to justify the Iraq war.
		Thursday, Judge John Bates, a Bush appointee, acknowledged that the Plame lawsuit raised questions as to the propriety of actions taken by government officials at the highest level.

	Plame affair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Plame affair (CIA leak grand jury investigation) concerns allegedly unauthorized disclosure of the identity of Valerie Plame as an undercover CIA operative.
		Wilson charged that Plame's CIA status was deliberately exposed by Bush administration officials, as retaliation for his public charge that U.S. intelligence concerning weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was largely a conspiracy to falsify and fabricate evidence to support the war.
		Though Plame's exposure was claimed by Wilson to be retaliation for Wilson's editorial on issues surrounding the yellowcake forgery, the White House and the GOP have sought to discredit Wilson with a public relations campaign that claims Wilson has a partisan political agenda.

	Valerie Plame - Demopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Plame is known is when her cover as a field operative was blown by conservative journalist-pundit Robert Novak in 2003, who cited "two senior administration officials" as his source for revealing the confidential information about Valerie Plame's employment.
		Plame's husband, Joe Wilson, had become persona non grata with the George W Bush administration by first anonymously and then openly revealing the fact that the Niger "yellowcake" uranium purchase documents, found by British intelligence and used by the Bush administration to justify the March 2003 invasion of Iraq, were forgeries.
		Plame as a CIA agent is greater than just the loss of one undercover operative and her contacts and information sources.

	Valerie Plame Affair » Outside The Beltway \| OTB
		Michael Isikoff reports that Valerie Plame was still performing covert overseas assignments at the time her name was leaked to the press.
		Not that Novak outed Valerie Plame, but that she was “an undercover CIA agent.” This description of Plame has been used carelessly and consistently, but the terms “undercover” and “agent” are highly specific, and in fact at the heart of whether any serious crime was committed in this case.
		If in fact Valerie Plame was not a covert agent, or even if she was but was outed unknowingly, then this investigation should have ended once this was established.

		Plame was mothering infant twins when Bush took office in 2001; she surely rubbed shoulders with other parents in the previous year and the year following the birth of her children, all of which are now compromised if any were operatives, too.
