CIA Bars Plame From Publishing Materials It Released Publicly 15 Months Ago

The CIA referred to here is not the same CIA that Mrs. Wilson worked for. It has been expunged of all non-Bush-loyalists.

Think Progress » CIA Bars Plame From Publishing Materials It Released Publicly 15 Months Ago: "

Valerie Plame Wilson sued the CIA yesterday “over its refusal to allow her to publish a memoir that would discuss how long she had worked for the agency.” The CIA contends that her dates of service “remain classified” and that Plame’s publication of such details in her upcoming book “could have serious ramifications” for national security.

The CIA itself, however, has previously publicly and voluntarily disclosed the very information in question. In February 2006, the CIA sent an letter to Wilson that was subsequently entered into the public domain when it was published in the Congressional Record. The letter, though supposedly classified, remains available online from government websites today.
