Their Amazing Analytical Abilities Continue to Astound Me

So Valerie Plame is suing the vice president over the Affaire de Plame:

In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court, Valerie Plame and her husband, Joseph Wilson, a former U.S. ambassador, accused Cheney, Rove and I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby of participating in a "whispering campaign" to reveal Plame's CIA identity and punish Wilson for criticizing the Bush administration's motives in Iraq.


Fascinating. So we can sue federal employees for screwing up their jobs? For conspiring against others in the government in a whispering campaign? For disagreeing with others in the government and taking actions to undermine those people?

Quite a precedent to establish for the buffoon Wilson and his tea-sipping unBondian mission poolside in Niger.
