In a Rare Public Appearance, Valerie Plame to Discuss Plamegate with Keith Olbermann



On behalf of People For the American Way and Political Clout Productions, we are proud to invite you to be present for an historic first. An extraordinary public servant, Valerie Plame, will be interviewed by a champion of the First Amendment, Keith Olbermann, host of MSNBC's "Countdown."

On Saturday, March 17 at 7:00 p.m. at the Tishman Auditorium, 66 West 12th St. in New York City, Valerie Plame will make the first public appearance since the beginning of the Scooter Libby trial to discuss her life, her career, and the personal battle she and her husband, Ambassador Joseph Wilson are fighting against the most powerful officials in the nation. It is a battle they are waging largely alone, a battle the Congress of the United States would not join, a battle that the news media shied away from, a battle few have the courage to fight.

It's appropriate that her first public interview will be conducted by Keith Olbermann, a journalist who himself has demonstrated great courage and a profound sense of public duty. The MSNBC Countdown host challenged the abuses of power as few others did when a single party controlled the White House and Congress. In his "Special Comments," Olbermann has had the courage to speak truth to power.

It should be a remarkable evening as these two defenders of the First Amendment sit down together in the Tishman Auditorium on March 17 at 7:00 p.m. The Tishman is a small auditorium and tickets are limited. This private invitation is being sent to PFAW supporters before we offer seats to the general public.

2. I presume this will be (hope hope) video recorded

and published. It would be an enormous service to the millions of us who cannot attend or would not fit into the limited forum.
