On 14 July 2003 Robert Novak identified "Wilson's wife" publicly as "an agency operative on weapons of mass destruction" named "Valerie Plame" in his syndicated column in The Washington Post.[7] In that column Novak was responding to an "op-ed" entitled "What I Didn't Find in Africa," written by former Ambassador Wilson and published in the New York Times the previous week, on July 6, 2003. In his op-ed, former Ambassador Wilson states that the George W. Bush administration exaggerated unreliable claims that Iraq intended to purchase uranium yellowcake to support the administration's arguments that Iraq was proliferating weapons of mass destruction so as to justify its preemptive war in Iraq.[8] is the 195th day of the year (196th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Novak's public disclosure of Mrs. Wilson's then-still-classified covert CIA identity as "Valerie Plame" led to a CIA leak grand jury investigation, resulting in the indictment and successful prosecution of Lewis Libby in United States v. Libby for perjury, obstruction of justice, and making false statements to federal investigators, in the Wilsons' civil lawsuit (Plame v.

Education

She graduated in 1981 from Lower Moreland High School, in [[Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania], and in 1985 from Pennsylvania State University with a B.A. in advertising.[11] While a student at Penn State, she worked for the business division of its student newspaper, The Daily Collegian.[11] By 1991, Plame earned two Master's degrees, from the London School of Economics and Political Science and the College of Europe (Collège d'Europe), in Bruges, Belgium, respectively.[2][11] In addition to English, she speaks French, German, and Greek.[11] This article is about the state-related university. ...

Marriages and family

After graduating from Penn State, Plame was briefly married to her college boyfriend Todd Sesler, who was also accepted into the CIA training program but decided to not pursue it.[1]


In 1997, while she was working for the CIA, Plame met former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV "at a reception in Washington ... at the residence of the Turkish Ambassador."[12] Unable to reveal her CIA role to Wilson on their first date, initially she told him that she was an energy trader in Brussels, and he thought that she was "an up-and-coming international executive."[13] After they began dating and became "close," Plame revealed her employment with the CIA to Wilson (Wilson, Politics of Truth 242).[13] They were married on April 3, 1998, Plame's second marriage and Wilson's third (Wilson, Politics of Truth 273). “CIA” redirects here. ...

Professionally and socially, she has used variants of her name. Professionally, while a covert CIA officer, she used her given first name and her maiden surname, "Valerie Plame." Since leaving the CIA, as a speaker, she has used the name "Valerie Plame Wilson," and she is referred to by that name in the civil suit that the Wilsons brought against former and current government officials, Plame v. Cheney.[2] Socially, and in public records of her political contributions, since her marriage to former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson, IV, in 1998, as Mrs. Joseph C. Wilson, she has used the name "Valerie E. Wilson." This article does not cite any references or sources. ... There are very few or no other articles that link to this one. ...


At the time that they met, Wilson relates in his memoir, he was separated from his second wife Jacqueline, a former French diplomat; they divorced after twelve years of marriage so that he could marry Valerie Plame. His divorce from Jacqueline had been "delayed because I was never in one place long enough to complete the process," though he and she had already been living separate lives since the mid-90s.[14] Plame and Wilson are the parents of twins, Trevor Rolph and Samantha Finnell Diana, born in January 2000. From his first marriage (1973-1986), to Susan Dale Otchis, Wilson is also the father of another set of twins (also a boy and a girl), Sabrina Cecile and Joseph Charles, who were born in 1975. Legal separation is a possible step towards divorce under United States law. ...


Prior to the disclosure of her classified CIA identity, Valerie and Joe Wilson and their twins lived in the Palisades, an affluent neighborhood of Washington, D.C., on the fringe of Georgetown.[11] After she resigned from the CIA following the disclosure, in January 2006, they moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico.[15][3] For other uses, see Washington, D.C.

Career

Soon after graduation from Penn State, Plame moved to Washington, D.C.,[11] where she worked at a clothing store, biding her time, while awaiting the results of her application to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).[2][11] She was accepted into the 1985-86 CIA officer training class, beginning her training for what became a twenty-year career with the Agency.[3] Although the CIA will not release publicly the specific dates from 1985 to 2002 when she worked for it, due to security concerns,[16][3] Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald affirmed that Plame "was a CIA officer from January 1st, 2002, forward" and that "her association with the CIA was classified at that time through July 2003.[17]At many times in Ms. Plame's career she put her life in profound danger. Due to the nature of her clandestine work for the CIA, many details about Plame's professional career are still classified, but it is documented that she worked for the CIA in a clandestine capacity relating to counter-proliferation.[18][4][5] While using her own name, "Valerie Plame," her assignments required posing in various professional roles in order to gather intelligence more effectively.[19][20][21] Two of her covers include serving as a junior consular officer in the early 1990s in Athens and then later an energy analyst for the private company (founded in 1994) "Brewster Jennings & Associates", which the CIA later acknowledged was a front company for certain investigations.[22] For other uses, see Washington, D.C.

John Crewdson, senior correspondent for the Chicago Tribune, notes that a former senior diplomat in Athens remembered Plame in her dual role and also recalled "that she served as one of the 'control officers' coordinating the visit of President George H.W. Bush to Greece and Turkey in July 1991."[23] After the Gulf War in 1991, the CIA sent her first to the London School of Economics and then the College of Europe, in Bruges, for Master's degrees. After earning the second one, she stayed on in Brussels, where she began her next assignment under cover as an "energy consultant" for Brewster-Jennings.[11] Beginning in 1997, Plame's primary assignment was shifted to the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. // The Chicago Tribune is a major daily newspaper based in Chicago, Illinois and owned by the Tribune Company. ...

She married Joseph Wilson in 1998 and gave birth to their twins in 2000,[24] and resumed travel overseas in 2001, 2002, and 2003 "as part of her cover job. She met with folks who worked in the nuclear industry, cultivated sources, and managed spies. She was a national security asset until exposed. . . ."[25] CBS has confirmed that part of her work involved ensuring that Iran did not acquire nuclear weapons.[26]


Part of her work during this time, according to David Corn and Michael Isikoff, appears to have been concerned with determining the use of aluminum tubes purchased by Iraq.[27] CIA analysts prior to the Iraq invasion were quoted by the White House as believing that Iraq was trying to acquire nuclear weapons and that these aluminum tubes could be used in a centrifuge for nuclear enrichment[28][29] but Isikoff and Corn argue that the undercover work being done by Mrs. Wilson and her CIA colleagues in the Directorate of Central Intelligence Nonproliferation Center strongly contradicted such a claim.[27] Aluminum tubes purchased by Iraq were intercepted in Jordan in 2001. ...

Novak's disclosures in his column, which resulted in Mrs. Wilson's public outing on 14 July 2003, ended her career with the CIA, from which she later resigned in December 2005.[30][31] “CIA” redirects here. ...


Although court affadivits of the Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald and exhibits pursuant to later U.S. Congressional investigations ascertain otherwise, some in the media questioned whether or not the CIA still considered Plame a "covert" agent—that is, the precise nature of her "classified" status or the type of "cover" that she had and whether or not it was "official" or "non-official"—at the time she was outed in the Novak column of July 14, 2003.[32] But official legal documents published in the course of the CIA leak grand jury investigation, United States v. Libby, and Congressional investigations fully establish Mrs. Wilson's classified employment as a covert officer for the CIA at the time that Novak's column was published in July 2003.[31][33][34] The Office of Special Counsel in the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) replaces the former Office of the Independent Counsel. ...

CIA leak grand jury investigation

In his press conference of October 28, 2005, Special Counsel Fitzgerald explained in considerable detail the necessity of "secrecy" about his Grand Jury investigation that began in the fall of 2003––"when it was clear that Valerie Wilson's cover had been blown"––and the background and consequences of the indictment of Lewis Libby as it pertains to Valerie E.

Fitzgerald's subsequent replies to reporters' questions shed further light on the parameters of the "leak investigation" and what, as its lead prosecutor, bound by "the rules of grand jury secrecy," he could and could not reveal legally at the time.[35] Official court documents released later, on April 5, 2006, reveal that Libby testified that "he was specifically authorized in advance" of his meeting with New York Times reporter Judith Miller to disclose the "key judgments" of the October 2002 classified National Intelligence Estimate (NIE). According to Libby's testimony, "the Vice President later advised him that the President had authorized defendant to disclose the relevant portions of the NIE [to Judith Miller]."[36] According to his testimony, the information that Libby was authorized to disclose to Miller "was intended to rebut the allegations of an administration critic, former ambassador Joseph Wilson." A couple of days after Libby's meeting with Miller, Condoleezza Rice told reporters, "We don't want to try to get into kind of selective declassification" of the NIE, adding "We're looking at what can be made available."[37] A "sanitized version" of the NIE in question was officially declassified on July 18, 2003, ten days after Libby's contact with Miller, and was presented at a White House background briefing on weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in Iraq.[38] The NIE contains no references to Valerie Plame or her CIA status, but the Special Counsel has suggested that White House actions were part of "a plan to discredit, punish or seek revenge against Mr. Wilson."[39] President Bush had previously indicated that he would fire whoever outed Plame.[37] is the 95th day of the year (96th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

A court filing by Libby's defense team argued that Valerie Plame was not foremost on the minds of administration officials as they sought to rebut charges made by her husband, Joseph Wilson, that the White House manipulated intelligence to make a case for invasion. The filing indicated that Libby's lawyers did not intend to say he was told to reveal Plame's identity.[40] The court filing also stated that "Mr. Libby plans to demonstrate that the indictment is wrong when it suggests that he and other government officials viewed Ms. Wilson's role in sending her husband to Africa as important," indicating that Libby's lawyers planned to call Karl Rove to the stand. According to Rove's lawyer, Fitzgerald has decided against pressing charges against Rove.[30]

Libby trial

Main article: United States v. Libby

On March 6, 2007, Libby was convicted of obstruction of justice, making false statements, and two counts of perjury. He was acquitted on one count of making false statements. His sentence included a $250,000 fine, 30 months in prison and two years of probation. On July 2, 2007, President George W. Bush commuted Libby's sentence, removing the jail term but leaving in place the fine and probation, calling the sentence "excessive."[41][42] In a subsequent press conference, on July 12, 2007, President Bush noted, "...the Scooter Libby decision was, I thought, a fair and balanced decision."[43] The Wilsons responded to the commutation in statements posted by their legal counsel, Melanie Sloan, executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), and on their own legal support website.

  • After her identity was exposed by officials in the Bush administration, she had to leave the CIA: "I could no longer perform the work for which I had been highly trained."[54]
  • She did not select her husband for a CIA fact-finding trip to Niger, but an officer senior to her selected him and told her to ask her husband if he would consider it: "I did not recommend him. I did not suggest him. There was no nepotism involved. I did not have the authority...."[54][55][56]

Fair Game

On the evening of the verdict in the Libby trial (March 6, 2007), Joseph C. Wilson appeared on Larry King Live, during which he announced that he and his wife had "signed a deal with Warner Bros of Hollywood to offer their consulting services - or maybe more - in the making of the forthcoming movie about the Libby trial," their lives and the CIA leak scandal.[57] According to an article by Michael Fleming published in Variety earlier in the week, the feature film, a co-production between Weed Road's Akiva Goldsman and Jerry and Janet Zucker of Zucker Productions with a screenplay by Jez and John Butterworth to be based in part on Valerie Wilson's memoir Fair Game (contingent on CIA clearances) originally scheduled for release in August 2007, but ultimately published on October 22, 2007.[58] is the 65th day of the year (66th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

In May 2006, the New York Times reported that Valerie Wilson agreed to a $2.5 million book deal with Crown Publishing Group, a division of Random House. As reported initially, her memoir, Fair Game: My Life as a Spy, My Betrayal by the White House (2007), was initially scheduled for publication in fall 2007. Steve Ross, senior vice president and publisher of Crown, told the Times that the book would be Mrs. Wilson's "first airing of her actual role in the American intelligence community, as well as the prominence of her role in the lead-up to the war."[59] Subsequently, the New York Times reported that the book deal fell through and that Mrs. Wilson was in exclusive negotiations with Simon and Schuster.[60] Ultimately, Simon and Schuster publicly confirmed the book deal, though not the financial terms and, at first, no set publication date.[61][27] The New York Times is an internationally known daily newspaper published in New York City and distributed in the United States and many other nations worldwide. ...

On May 31, 2007, various news media reported that Simon and Schuster and Valerie Wilson were suing J. Michael McConnell, Director of National Intelligence, and Michael V. Hayden, Director of the CIA, arguing that the CIA "is unconstitutionally interfering with the publication of her memoir, Fair Game, ... set to be published in October [2007], by not allowing Plame to mention the dates she served in the CIA, even though those dates are public information."[62][63] is the 151st day of the year (152nd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

"Although that information is set out in an unclassified letter to Ms. Wilson [relating to her retirement] that has been published in the Congressional Record [and subsequently circulated widely]," according to Adam Liptak in The New York Times, "the C.I.A. insists that her dates of service remain classified and may not be mentioned in 'Fair Game,' the memoir Ms. Wilson hopes to publish in October. ...

The New York Times is a daily newspaper published in New York City and distributed internationally. ...


On August 3, 2007, Liptak reported that Judge Barbara S. Jones, of the United States District Court for the District of New York, in Manhattan, had decided that Mrs. Wilson would not be able to state in her memoir precisely the dates that she had worked for the CIA, even though they are already published in documents in the public domain: is the 215th day of the year (216th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

The C.I.A. has publicly acknowledged only that Ms. Wilson worked there from 2002 to January 2006, when she resigned.

But a February 2006 letter from the C.I.A. to Ms. Wilson about her retirement benefits said that she had worked for the agency since Nov. 9, 1985, for a total of "20 years, 7 days," including "six years, one month and 29 days of overseas service." The letter was published in the Congressional Record in connection with proposed legislation concerning Ms. Wilson's benefits, and it remains available on the Library of Congress's Web site.

Judge Jones acknowledged that the C.I.A. "does not contest that the information is, in fact, in the public domain," adding that "the public may draw whatever conclusions it might from the fact that the information at issue was sent on C.I.A. letterhead by the chief of retirement and insurance services."[3] The Congressional Record is the official record of the proceedings and debates of the United States Congress. ...

According to Liptak, "The C.I.A. apparently had no significant objections to the manuscript beyond the dispute over how long Ms. Wilson worked for it. In a December 2006 letter quoted in Judge Jones's decision, the agency's publication review board said the manuscript was "replete with statements" that "become classified when they are linked with a specific time frame", but it has cleared the way for her to publish her memoir otherwise in the autumn of 2007."[3]


According to a review of the book by Janet Maslin that appeared in the October 22nd edition of The New York Times, the manuscript draft which Plame was contractually obligated to submit to the CIA Publications Review Board came back heavily expurgated, with the expectation that the book would be rewritten to make sense despite the many required deletions. Plame and her publisher, Simon & Schuster, responded that much of the censored information was in the public domain, and that CIA's suppression of information was itself part of her story. They elected to publish Fair Game with the censor's marks visible as blacked-out words, lines, paragraphs or pages, with an 80-page afterword by reporter Laura Rozen that uses matters of public record to fill in some of the gaps.[64] [65] Jean-François Millet Le Semeur (The Sower) Simon & Schuster logo, circa 1961. ...


The week after the October 22, 2007, publication of Fair Game, on October 28, 2007, Valerie Plame Wilson was the keynote speaker of the Fourth Annual Vermont Woman Newspaper Lecture Series, in South Burlington, Vermont, speaking on the topic "Taking Back the White House in an Abuse of Public Trust" and answering questions following her presentation.[66] is the 295th day of the year (296th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

NPR : Plame to Appeal Dismissal of Suit in CIA Case (229 words)
Plame claiming they leaked her covert CIA status in retribution for her husband's public criticism of the administration.
In 2003, Plame's husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson, accused the administration of manipulating intelligence to justify the Iraq war.
Thursday, Judge John Bates, a Bush appointee, acknowledged that the Plame lawsuit raised questions as to the propriety of actions taken by government officials at the highest level.
Plame affair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (8633 words)
The Plame affair (CIA leak grand jury investigation) concerns allegedly unauthorized disclosure of the identity of Valerie Plame as an undercover CIA operative.
Wilson charged that Plame's CIA status was deliberately exposed by Bush administration officials, as retaliation for his public charge that U.S. intelligence concerning weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was largely a conspiracy to falsify and fabricate evidence to support the war.
Though Plame's exposure was claimed by Wilson to be retaliation for Wilson's editorial on issues surrounding the yellowcake forgery, the White House and the GOP have sought to discredit Wilson with a public relations campaign that claims Wilson has a partisan political agenda.
