Plame, Wilson to take CIA leak lawsuit to Supreme Court
By Nick Cargo, Raw Story
Former CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson and her husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson, plan to take their civil lawsuit against Bush administration officials to the Supreme Court after a federal circuit court refused to rehear the case on Monday.
Wilson v. Cheney, filed in 2006, charges that Bush administration officials such as Vice President Cheney, and aides Karl Rove and I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, violated Plame's constitutional rights in allegedly engineering the outing Plame, who was undercover at the time, as retaliation against her husband, an Iraq war critic, who had been sent to Niger in 2002 to investigate the possible sale of yellowcake uranium to Iraq. While Wilson reported back that such sales were unlikely to have taken place, President Bush asserted to the contrary in his 2003 State of the Union address, prompting Wilson to speak out publicly in a July 6, 2003 New York Times piece entitled "What I Didn't Find in Africa."
Plame Wilson's cover was famously blown while she was helping track distribution and acquisition of weapons of mass destruction in Iran. Her name was leaked to columnist Robert Novak, who published it in his July 14, 2003 column. He said in July 2007 that the source of the leak was former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, but said that it was not meant to be a deliberate act on the part of the White House to hurt the Wilsons.
In August, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit upheld a district judge's dismissal of the suit saying that it failed to establish a constitutional issue.
"There must be consequences when government officials abuse their power and endanger national security for political ends," said CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan on Tuesday. "This is an issue worth fighting over and we will not give up."

Backstabbing
I hope Valerie can win a judgement that will cause these traitorous bastards to sting with regret for the remainder of their lives if not eternity, but I am often derided as naive.
The outing of Valerie reminds me of what the neocons said they were militarily opposed to in Iraq by people like Saddam Hussein. I guess that it is supposed to look different to me if we do it. Well, it does look different, IT LOOKS MUCH WORSE when we slay our own standards and people!
IMPEACH INDICT CONVICT
with Eric Holder in DEPT OF JUST US, and other O'Bombya fuckups?
Are Valerie and Joe counting on O'Bombya actually deviating from his current; "I'm stuffing as many Nazi right wing bastards into my cabinet as I can.." course of action, not also stacking the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) with more neocon throwbacks that jackasses like Alan Dershowitz, Mr. A.I.P.A.C./Knesset/Likud Party cheerleader?
because if they think that SCOTUS will be fair enough not to also fuck them, they better get ready for another huge, expensive disappointment, because O'Bombya has already shown, just like I told all of you fuckwads who were rooting for his sorry A.I.P.A.C. / Israel beholden ass....they better think again about a better place to spend their money.
This nation is over. The election of O'Bombya solved nothing.
it created the 'illusion' that everything will be 'reversed' that Bush has done, and clearly, with Eric Holden and Rahm Emanuel, and countless other ISRAELI aiding and abetting SPIES in this government, but now that some of you have your heads pulled out of your rectal orifice's long enough to breath something other than METHANE, you might realize you were wrong about this O'Bombya.
He's a neocon. Republican Lite. Status Quo. Republic is OVER THE FUCK WITH, PEOPLE!
