On July 14, 2003, CIA secret agent Valerie Plame Wilson unexpectedly became famous: her full name was printed in black and white in the Washington Post newspaper and her place of service was revealed. A loud scandal erupted, which was soon given the name “Plamegate”, by analogy with the notorious Watergate and Irangate. In a “strange” coincidence, the information leak occurred just a week after a high-profile article by Valerie’s husband, retired diplomat Joseph Wilson, in which he criticized the George W. Bush administration for using dubious means to justify military intervention in Iraq. The scandal and subsequent legal proceedings lasted for several years. High-ranking representatives of the White House were brought to criminal liability, and the court convicted the chief of staff of the vice president. What trials the Wilson couple went through, how they fought the smear campaign, how they tried to get to the truth - Valerie Plame Wilson writes about all this frankly, simply and poignantly in her book. In 2010, director Doug Dimen (“The Bourne Identity”) based on the book by Valerie Plame Wilson, he made a feature film of the same name starring Naomi Watts and Sean Penn.
