The discovery process works both ways. Plame and Wilson will have to be prepared for the opposing onslaught. Sometimes people file suits for the splash value and don't fully appreciate how the process will play out. The plaintiff's best day in a lawsuit is often the day he/she files the case. I've told juries, more than once, that it only takes a couple of hundred bucks to file a lawsuit and the clerk has to accept it. Anyone can do it. Filing means nothing. I am not commenting on the merits of this suit one way or the other. Just making some general observations. Who filed on their behalf? Anyone know?
