Politics
Valerie Plame is suing... well, everybody -- Rove, Libby and Cheney included. Two very interesting elements to this case:
1) Cheney may have to appear in court or give testimony on record, even though he’s currently serving in public office. Republicans spent so much time railing about how President Clinton should not be above the law in his own civil lawsuits that they won’t be able to do the opposite for Cheney without losing all credibility.
2) Considering that Plame may have used her influence inappropriately to have her own husband promoted, this lawsuit may backfire on her rather spectacularly.
Plame and Wilson have set up a legal support trust to cover their expenses.
