Cheney, Rove, Libby Sued by Former CIA Agent Over Identity LeakVice President Dick Cheney, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove and former Cheney assistant I. Lewis Libby were sued by a former covert CIA agent who claims the men conspired to illegally reveal her identity.
Valerie Plame, who worked at the agency's headquarters in Langley, Virginia, and her husband, former U.S. ambassador Joseph Wilson, filed the suit today in federal court in Washington. They are seeking unspecified financial damages.
The couple's suit accuses Cheney, Rove, Libby and other unidentified officials of violating their constitutional rights by conspiring to ``discredit, punish and seek revenge'' against Wilson for publicly disputing statements made by President George W. Bush in his 2003 State of the Union address in an effort to justify the war in Iraq.
