Valerie Plame lost an appeal when the U.S. Court of Appeals rejected her request for a civil suit against the Bush administration.

From the AP:

A federal judge dismissed the case last year on largely procedural grounds. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld that ruling Tuesday.

The lawsuit accused Vice President Dick Cheney, Karl Rove and I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, among others, as naming Plame to reporters as a CIA operative in 2003.
