Valerie Plame Sues Richard Armitage For Leaking Her IdentitySeptember 13, 2006 11:36 p.m. EST

Washington, D.C. (AHN) - Former CIA operative Valerie Plame is suing Richard Armitage for violating her privacy rights by leaking her identity to the press.
However, the suit does not accuse the one-time deputy secretary of state of conspiring with Bush administration officials to blow her cover.
The civil suit also names Vice President Dick Cheney, his former chief of staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby and White House adviser Karl Rove.
Armitage admitted last week that he leaked Plame's identity as a covert CIA agent to columnist Robert Novak and Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward.
He says the disclosure was made inadvertently, and that he was not aware of any plan to leak her identity.
Novak disputes this claim, saying on the Chicago Sun-Times Web site that Armitage was clear about Plame's employment.
Plame and her husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson, say the White House purposefully leaked her identity as payback for Wilson's assertion that Saddam Hussein did not try to buy yellowcake uranium from Niger.
President Bush claimed in his 2003 State of the Union address that the former Iraqi dictator bought the uranium to make a nuclear weapon.
