I've been thinking about this.

When Wilson published his article, he put himself in the public eye. Whether it was "widely known" that his wife worked for the CIA, there were certainly people who DID know.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't he just an unnamed "ambassador" to the extent he was mentioned in any articles before he published his column? Or had he previously been mentioned as the one who was sent on the junket?

If it's the former, it would appear that they voluntarily thrust themselves into the fray, in a very big way.

I haven't had a chance to do more than just read the complaint, but I'm wondering whether their claims are
really actionable.

Here's a link to the complaint:

(That 's set on the last page, but you can click on 1 and read from the beginning.)

I suspect there will be Rule 12 motions. The early meeting of counsel should be a nightmare....
