"Fair Game: My Life as a Spy, My Betrayal by the White House" by Valerie Plame ( Oct. 22, 2007) |
|
http://www.amazon.com/Fair-Game-Betrayal-White-House/dp/1416537619?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1188146054&sr=8-1Looking forward to this one. Go Valerie! Product Description
Valerie Plame Wilson's cover as a top CIA agent was blown when Bush Administration officials leaked her name to the media; the ensuing investigation resulted in Vice-President Cheney's chief of staff, Scooter Libby, being convicted of a felony. But it almost destroyed Valerie Wilson's life, too. Now, for the first time, she tells her story of a life as a spy, the career of a undercover agent and mother of twins and the sudden object of the White House's wrath. It is a remarkable woman's story, a political story, a tale of betrayal and courage.

Anyone got an update on that dismissal of their case? It was a silly "jurisdiction" thingy. Have they appealed? I just want them to have the opportunity to conduct FULL DISCOVERY. That would be enough to carry some justice back to this country.

I'm outraged by the fact that the stupid people in Wash DC bungled this whole thing. Disgusting.

But then again, so many books are pre-vetted and go nowhere.
This one, however, has the potent power of name recognition.
It's about time we separated the spin from the truth about the Plame outing.
