Former CIA officer Valerie Plame and her husband, former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV, filed a lawsuit yesterday against Vice President Cheney, presidential adviser Karl Rove and former vice presidential aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, accusing the three of violating their constitutional rights in retaliation for Wilson's criticism of President Bush.

Plame and Wilson say that, after Wilson accused Bush of twisting intelligence about Iraq's pursuit of weapons of mass destruction, Cheney, Rove and Libby conspired to "discredit, punish and seek revenge against the plaintiffs that included, among other things, disclosing to members of the press Plaintiff Valerie Plame Wilson's classified CIA employment."

Plame and Wilson ask for unspecified monetary compensation for what they described as a "gross invasion of privacy" that could jeopardize the safety of their children and target Plame for retribution by enemies of the United States. They also allege that the incident has impaired their professional opportunities. Plame has since retired from the agency.

The White House declined to comment on the suit, as did the vice president's office. Plame, Wilson and their attorneys declined to comment yesterday, saying they will answer questions at a news conference scheduled for 10 a.m. today.

This lawsuit is the most transparent of political stunts planned by the Democrat party in concert with the Plames. Wilson's need to spark some interest in his dead career was the sole source and cause of this entire comedy. Both Plame and her husband Joe Wilson are hardcore Democrats and are closely coordinating their efforts with the Democrat leadership.

They have no evidence let alone proof that anyone inside or outside the administration set out to intentionally discredit or destroy their careers...er..her career (he doesn't have one except as hanger on and official whiner of the Left). They know that this lawsuit is going nowhere, it is simply a further attempt by the Democrat Party and their surrogates to embarass and harass the President and Vice-President and to distract from the fact that the Democrats have no plan, and have absolutely no idea of how to run this country (except into the ground)or how to solve the nation's problems.

The Democrats are reducing themselves further down the road to irrelevence and absurdity. They have become a parody of their former party.
