Association of American Publishers joins Plame's fight against CIA

Feb 10 2008

Publishers Weekly reports that the AAP is entering the legal fray surrounding Valerie Plame's memoir, Fair Game. The book, which Simon & Schuster published in October, has already drawn the publisher and its author into a legal battle with the CIA. A lawsuit filed by S&S and Plame against the government agency in May intended to block the CIA from preventing Plame from including the dates she worked for the agency in her book was dismissed in August. S&S appealed and now the AAP has, with 11 other interest groups (including the ABA and the ALA-affiliated Freedom to Read Foundation), filed a brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit requesting the information be at Plame's disposal.
