Latest Leak: Valerie Plame Shopping Book Proposal

Posted
By: E&P Staff The central figure in the CIA leak scandal, Valerie Plame, is now shopping a book proposal, The New York Times reports Thursday.

Naturally, this comes by way of a leak--but this time not from Robert Novak or Scooter Libby. It comes from what he Times calls "two people familiar with the project." It adds: "Both people were granted anonymity because their publishing companies have signed nondisclosure agreements about the content of the proposal."

No details were available about the content. Her husband, Joseph Wilson, wrote a book himself, published last year.

Plame, who was outed as a CIA operative by columnist Novak (with a little help from his friends), retired from the agency in January. She told E&P's Joe Strupp last weekend that she has been enjoying raising her children, which she described as a tougher chore than being a CIA officer.
