Federal Court to Valerie Plame Wilson: "No"

U. S. District Court Judge John D. Bates has dismissed the lawsuit that Valerie Plame Wilson filed against Vice President Dick Cheney and other members of the Bush administration, saying there was no legal basis for the suit.

The judge commented that the act of rebutting public criticism—such as that levied by Joseph Wilson against the administration—by speaking with members of the press is within the scope of employment for members of the Executive branch.

Mr. and Mrs. Wilson have, of course, pledged to appeal the judge's ruling.

They certainly won't be asking for a rehearing before the same judge. His 41-page opinion makes his thinking clear as could be.
No.
No.
No.
No.
and, No.
