Fresh Air from WHYY, October 23, 2007 · In July 2003, newspaper columnist Robert Novak published the name of undercover CIA operative Valerie Plame — shortly after Plame's husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson, wrote an op-ed piece contradicting President Bush's contention that Saddam Hussein had tried to procure yellowcake uranium from the West African nation of Niger.
A special prosecutor was appointed to investigate the leak, and eventually I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby — chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney — was indicted for perjury and obstruction of justice in connection with the inquiry. Upon his conviction, Libby was sentenced to 30 months in jail, though the president commuted that sentence.
Plame and Wilson are still pursuing a case in civil court in an attempt to uncover who started the leak. And the former spy has published a memoir: Fair Game: My Life as a Spy, My Betrayal by the White House.

All Things Considered, October 22, 2007 · Reading Fair Game, the new memoir by former CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson, requires leaps of faith and logic.
Words, sentences and even whole pages have been blacked out — cuts ordered by the CIA. A second section of the book written by journalist Laura Rozen tries to fill in some of the many blanks.
In 2003, Valerie Plame Wilson was "outed" as a CIA operative in a column by conservative commentator Robert Novak. That came days after an op-ed piece by Wilson's husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, was published in The New York Times. In it, he accused the Bush administration of exaggerating the Iraqi threat in the lead-up to the war.
At the time, Valerie Wilson was a covert operative at CIA headquarters — tracking intelligence about Iraq's presumed weapons of mass destruction. Wilson says that reading Novak's column "felt like a sucker punch to the gut."
