IT'S the spy scandal that continues to dog the White House even though many of its key players are already fading into history.
Four years after her CIA cover was blown in a newspaper column — allegedly at the behest of the White House — Valerie Plame, America's "Jane Bond", is about to get even.
On Monday her memoir will be released and the White House can expect to be in the firing line. She takes aim at staffers — notably President George Bush's former political adviser Karl Rove, and Vice-President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff Scooter Libby, as well as the journalists involved in leaking her name into the public domain.
The title says it all: Fair Game: My Life as a Spy, My Betrayal by the White House. Like other book releases, there's been a leak or two.
The book's title is drawn from a comment Mr Rove is said to have made about Plame being "fair game". "The next time we were in line for Communion," she writes, "I would pass him the wafer plate and whisper softly, 'My name's Fair Game, what's yours?"
