WASHINGTON -- Valerie Plame's life changed the day her name appeared in a newspaper column, her job as a CIA officer exposed in black and white.


THE COUPLE IN QUESTION: Former CIA officer Valerie Plame and her husband, Joseph Wilson, say her CIA job was revealed to retaliate for Wilson's public criticism of the administration. - HARAZ N. GHANBARI / Associated Press

She goes before a House committee today as both a shadowy figure and a celebrity, with lucrative book and movie deals in the works, a magazine cover in her past and her unceremonious unmasking four years ago the subject of persistent intrigue.
Now she is lifting the veil by her own hand, and to maximum effect.
The House is not in session today, and Plame's only competition for attention in Washington is a Senate subcommittee hearing on next year's budget for smaller federal agencies, and the annual St. Patrick's Day exchange of shamrocks at the White House between President Bush and Ireland's prime minister. In other words, it's no contest.
She's telling her story to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, where Democrats are eager to explore the circumstances of her outing and how the White House responded to the leak of her identity.
Although she's had little to say publicly, Plame has made more than a few splashy appearances with her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson. Last month alone, the Wilsons attended a book party for Terry McAuliffe, the former Democratic Party chairman, and were spotted having lunch with actress Morgan Fairchild at the Four Seasons.
Then there was last year's announcement that they were suing Bush administration officials they blame for ending her career. They rubbed elbows with Washington's glitterati at a celebrity-studded awards dinner for the White House press corps that year.
The couple famously posed in his Jaguar for the January 2004 cover of Vanity Fair magazine. A scarf covered Plame's blond hair, and dark sunglasses hid her eyes -- deepening the sense of mystery.
The disclosure of Plame's name closed one chapter in her life but opened others.
The mother of 7-year-old twins, a boy and girl, is finishing a book about her life and the leak of her name, tentatively titled "Fair Game," for which publisher Simon & Schuster paid her an advance of more than $1 million.
"She is hopeful she'll be able to get it out soon," Wilson said last week. "She's in discussion with the CIA about it."
Plame submitted the manuscript to the CIA for a mandatory review, which is done to make sure the book tells no government secrets. It was returned to Plame, who left the agency in January 2006, with suggestions.
"We are all awaiting Ms. Wilson's resubmission," CIA spokesman Mark Mansfield said Thursday. "In most cases, we are able to work it out in a way that satisfies everyone's concerns."
Plame's story also is headed for the big screen. Warner Bros. is developing a film based on the couple's lives, a screenplay is being written, and Plame and her husband are expected to serve as consultants.
The civil case against Bush administration officials also is moving forward. Arguments are set for May 17 in U.S. District Court.
Plame and her husband blame Vice President Dick Cheney; presidential adviser Karl Rove; I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Cheney's former chief of staff; and former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage for revealing her identity and, effectively, ending her career. They say it was done to retaliate for an opinion piece critical of the administration that Wilson had written for The New York Times in July 2003.

Gloria Tonsils' turn now. I hope she is entertaining. She seems to imply now that it is all CIA's fault for having Plame outed.

That has to be the largest group of sex-predator looking freaks I've seen in a long time. We should devote an entire thread to making fun of them.

HAHAHAHA.

So I take it you would not let any of them vacation-sit a pet parakeet [they'd probably eat the poor thing for lunch].

This "committee" certainly looks like a motley crew of villains and -asses.
