A former CIA officer whose identity was leaked to the media is suing US Vice-President Dick Cheney.
Valerie Plame is suing Mr Cheney, his former aide Karl Rove, another official Lewis Libby, and 10 others, saying they tried to destroy.... her career.
Ms Plame's name appeared in the media in 2003 after her husband criticised the Bush government over Iraq.
Her husband, ex-US ambassador Joseph Wilson, who is also suing, had said the US twisted intelligence to go to war.
It was revealed last month that Mr Rove would not be charged over the leak.
But Mr Libby has been charged with perjury and obstructing justice. He has resigned pending trial.
