Ex-CIA agent Valery Plame sued US Vice President Dick Cheney, President George W. Bush's former top advisor Karl Rove, and a third former White House official for conspiring to expose her secret identity.
Plame and her husband, US former diplomat Joseph Wilson, charged in the lawsuit filed in Washington that Cheney, his former aide Lewis "Scooter" Libby, and Rove violated their rights when they conspired to leak her work as a Central Intelligence Agency undercover operative to the press in order to strike out at Wilson for clashing with the Bush administration over the Iraq war.
"Those officials sought to punish Mr. Wilson for his public statements regarding assertions by the president of the United States in the 2003 State of the Union address that he used to justify war against Iraq," said the lawsuit, which lists 10 other unnamed defendants as "John Does".
