On July 6, 2003, four months after the United States invaded Iraq,
former ambassador Joseph Wilson's now historic op-ed, "What I
Didn't Find in Africa," appeared in "The New York Times." A week
later, conservative pundit Robert Novak revealed in his newspaper
column that Ambassador Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame Wilson, was a
CIA operative. The public disclosure of that secret information
spurred a federal investigation and led to the trial and conviction
of Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, Scooter Libby, and
the Wilsons' civil suit against top officials of the Bush
administration. Much has been written about the "Valerie Plame"
story, but Valerie herself has been silent, until now. Some of what
has been reported about her has been frighteningly accurate,
serving as a pungent reminder to the Wilsons that their lives are
no longer private. And some has been completely false -- distorted
characterizations of Valerie and her husband and their shared
integrity.
Valerie Wilson retired from the CIA in January 2006, and now,
not only as a citizen but as a wife and mother, the daughter of an
Air Force colonel, and the sister of a U.S. marine, she sets the
record straight, providing an extraordinary account of her training
and experiences, and answers many questions that have been asked
about her covert status, her responsibilities, and her life. As
readers will see, the CIA still deems much of the detail of
Valerie's story to be classified. As a service to readers, an
afterword by national security reporter Laura Rozen provides a
context for Valerie's own story.
"Fair Game" is the historic and unvarnished account of the
personal and international consequences of speaking truth to
power.
