WASHINGTON (AP) — The CIA officer whose identity was leaked to reporters sued Vice President Dick Cheney, his former top aide and presidential adviser Karl Rove on Thursday, accusing them and other White House officials of conspiring to destroy her career.

In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court, Valerie Plame and her husband, Joseph Wilson, a former U.S. ambassador, accused Cheney, Rove and I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby of revealing Plame's CIA identity in seeking revenge against Wilson for criticizing the Bush administration's motives in Iraq.

Plame Sues Cheney, Libby, and Rove

Well, I think this is very much due time, as it has been widely thought that this was done in retaliation against Plame's husband for speaking against the administration in regard to issues in Iraq. I didn't really know you could sue the Veep, but I have now learned that possibly we can.

Cheney, Rove and Libby - She's not pulling any punches. It will be interesting to see how this transpires in a court of law. I wonder if there will be a gag order, a buy-out or an 'accident'.
