CIA Sued for Being a Dick
http://wonkette.com/politics/plame-on-dept'/cia-sued-for-being-a-dick-264994.php

Valerie “Plame” Wilson worked for the CIA for exactly “20 years, 7 days,” with “six years, one month and 29 days of overseas service,” according to the CIA via the Congressional Record.

That information is classified, by the way. And for repeating it, the CIA is forbidding Val from publishing her book. So Val’s suing them! And so is Simon & Schuster, because they paid $2 million for the thing, which we think is the largest advance paid to a non-blogger since 2001 or so. ..........

Valerie Wilson Sues C.I.A. Over Memoir

Valerie Wilson, the former Central Intelligence Agency operative at the heart of an investigation that reached into the White House, sued the agency in federal court in New York today over its refusal to allow her to publish a memoir that would discuss how long she worked for it.

Although that information is set out in an unclassified letter to Ms. Wilson that has been published in the Congressional Record, 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.

Agency employees sign agreements requiring them to submit manuscripts to the agency for permission before they are published.............
