Valerie Plame Told To Keep Her Secrets To Herself

If those strict, binding legal contract-savvy folks at the CIA have their way, that is. Newsweek's Periscope reports that the agency blocked the publication of Plame's book by telling her that she can't mention or discuss her employment since she was hired as a "nonofficial cover" officer posing as a private businesswoman. We wonder what NYT reporter Judy Miller thinks about these shenanigans.

So Val says bye bye to her fatty deal check from Simon & Schuster...for the time being. She could go Spy-fi Sydney Bristow and beat every editor at S&S to a bloody pulp any minute now.
