Outed CIA officer Valerie Plame and her husband, former ambassador Joe Wilson, have swapped lawyers in their suit against three Bush administration officials. The non-profit Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, headed by former Justice Department prosecutor Melanie Sloan, is now representing the couple, according to a news release from the group.

Plame and Wilson are suing White House adviser Karl Rove, vice president Dick Cheney and former Cheney chief of staff Lewis “Scooter” Libby for unspecified damages for revealing Plame’s identity.
