Plame sues CIA, says it's delaying memoir Associated Press/ Houston Chronicle chron.com By MATT APUZZO June 1, 2007, 12:26AM Excerpt: WASHINGTON — Valerie Plame, the former undercover CIA officer whose 2003 exposure touched off a leak investigation, is accusing the government of delaying publication of Fair Game, her new book. Plame and her publisher, Simon & Schuster, sued the CIA in a New York federal court Thursday. They accused the government of illegally refusing to let Plame write about the specific dates she worked for the agency. The CIA, which has acknowledged only that Plame worked for the agency since 2002, must approve all writings of former officers before they can be published. "The sole benchmark is whether it contains classified information," CIA spokesman Mark Mansfield said. "The concern is that publication of the manuscript as submitted would cause additional damage to operations and would affect the CIA's ability to conduct intelligence activities in the future." Plame contends that the CIA released information about her work history in an unclassified letter about her retirement benefits. The letter says that Plame worked at the CIA for more than 20 years. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/nation/4852567.html Quote Visit GLOBAL WARMING SKEPTICS
