The lawyers for outed CIA officer Valerie Plame have filed suit in federal court to appeal a decision to quash her lawsuit against those in the Bush administration she says illegally outed her as a CIA operative in 2003.

Plame says her CIA cover was blown as retribution for her husband's criticism of the Iraq war. She says that violated her constitutional rights.

The ex-career CIA officer is also set to attend will an annual "power lunch" to benefit Illinois congresswoman Jan Schakowsky with the wife of presidential candidate Barack Obama, Michelle.

A federal judge dismissed Plame's lawsuit last year on procedural grounds. Her lawyers asked a federal appeals court Friday to force the judge to consider the merits of the case.
