Heading: Publication of FAIR GAME

Text: Approximately one month later, on October 22, 2007, Simon & Schuster published Fair Game with the redactions required by the PRB rendered in the text as blacked-out lines. The book opens with a Publisher's Note explaining that many of the CIA's required redactions relate[ ] to material that would disclose Ms. Wilson's dates of service, information that has already been widely disseminated. FAIR GAME at ix. The note advises readers that the redacted information is effectively being provided in an afterword written by someone other than Ms. Wilson: To enhance the reader's experience Simon & Schuster has added an afterword by reporter Laura Rozen. Drawn from interviews and public sources, it provides historical background and recounts portions of Ms. Wilson's life and career that she was unable to include herself. When the afterword is read together with Fair Game, a full and vivid picture of Valerie Plame Wilson emerges. Ms. Wilson has had no input or involvement she has not seen before publication of this book. Id. The afterword purports to describe, among other things, Ms. Wilson's entry into the CIA in 1985, see id. at 313; her first foreign assignment to Athens, Greece, and the diplomatic cover she used on that tour, see id. at 319-31; and her transition to nonofficial cover in the 1990s, during which time she posed as an energy consultant, id. at 333-48.
