“The problem is that the agency is living in an Alice-in-Wonderland world where they don’t want to admit that she worked for them before 2002,” Mr. Wilson said as he paused in packing on Wednesday. “We just might have to sue them, and they will be reminded this is not the Soviet Union.”
Mark Mansfield, a C.I.A. spokesman, said Ms. Wilson’s book was under review. “The concern is that the manuscript as it was originally submitted would cause

Ms. Plame, Ms. Wilson’s mother, recalled that when her daughter was in her senior year at Pennsylvania State University, she sent her an advertisement for work at the C.I.A. Ms. Wilson became an undercover operative in Europe; officially she was an “energy consultant.” It was perhaps the riskiest type of undercover work, as she could not in a pinch fall back on being an employee of the United States.
Mother and daughter never again talked about work.
“I hear these people saying, ‘Oh, everyone knew she was undercover,’ ” Ms. Plame said. “Well, she did not enlighten her mother or her family. No, she did not.”
