Plame seeks to resurrect lawsuit in CIA leak case
 Plame says her CIA cover was blown as retribution for her husband's criticism of the Iraq war.
Date published: 5/9/2008 WASHINGTON (AP) - Valerie Plame is trying to resurrect a lawsuit against those in the Bush administration she says illegally outed her as a CIA operative in 2003. Plame says her CIA cover was blown as retribution for her husband's criticism of the Iraq war. She says that violated her constitutional rights. A federal judge dismissed Plame's lawsuit last year on procedural grounds. Her lawyers asked a federal appeals court Friday to force the judge to consider the merits of the case. Plame and her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, sued Vice President Dick Cheney; his former chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby; former White House political adviser Karl Rove and former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage.
