posted by Damozel | At Truthout, Jason Leopold interviews Joseph Wilson. The Wilsons have filed a civil suit m Vice President Dick Cheney, White House Political Adviser Karl Rove and Cheney's former Chief of Staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby,
for allegedly violating his and Plame Wilson's civil rights.
Plame is preparing to publish her memoirs. According to Wilson, the CIA publications review board has vetted it and concluded that it contains no materials "that are in and of themselves classified," according to Wilson. They do not want her to acknowledge that before 2002 she worked for the CIA. Wilson: "This is "Richard Cheney's last attempt to stifle free speech in this country---and we'll beat the son of a bitch on that too. We will find a workaround to make sure that...she will be able to tell her story..."
You can hear a clip of Wilson's reaction to today's Libby sentencing here. Among other things, Wilson says that he wishes that the president---having expressed sympathy for Libby's family--- would express sympathy for Valerie Plame, who lost her career, and for the families of people who are fighting based on wrong information.
