US officials 'betrayed' CIA agent

Joseph Wilson and Valerie Plame
Joseph Wilson and Valerie Plame filed the lawsuit together
A former CIA officer who is suing US Vice-President Dick Cheney and others over the leaking of her identity says the government "betrayed" her trust.

Valerie Plame's identity was leaked after her husband, former US ambassador Joseph Wilson, criticised the use of intelligence before the war in Iraq.

In a lawsuit the pair say Ms Plame was outed by officials in "revenge".

"I and my former CIA colleagues trusted our government to protect us as we did our jobs," Ms Plame told reporters.

"That a few reckless individuals within the current administration betrayed that trust has been a grave disappointment to every patriotic American."

words.

The only thing BushCo can do now is vilify her. And that won't work at this new, public level.

All they can do is illustrate what she's accusing them of! It's a little LATE for them to show "concern".

:rofl:
