Plame Appeals Dismissal of Suit

Washington - Former CIA operative Valerie Plame is trying to resurrect a lawsuit against those in the Bush administration who she says illegally disclosed her identity in 2003.

 

U.S. District Judge John Bates dismissed the lawsuit last year, saying there was no basis to bring a case. Plame's lawyers asked a federal appeals court Friday to send the case back to Bates and force him to consider its merits.

 

Plame and her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, sued Vice President Dick Cheney, former White House political adviser Karl Rove and two others.
