Outed Ex-Agent Plame and publisher sue CIA over her memoir

(Reuters) An ex-spy whose unmasking led to the conviction of Vice President Dick Cheney's top aide is suing the Central Intelligence Agency, accusing it of unconstitutionally interfering with publication of her memoir. Valerie Plame Wilson and her publisher, Simon & Schuster, filed a suit against J. Michael McConnell, the CIA director of national intelligence, and CIA director Michael Hayden. The CIA demanded "significant portions" of Wilson's manuscript be "excised or rendered 'fiction'" to protect the secrecy of Wilson's service before 2002. The rest of the story: Reuters.
