As a former CIA employee, Valerie Plame Wilson was required to submit her book Fair Game to the agency for review before publication. They wanted to remove as much as 35% of the material, according to the publisher, but settled on withholding approval of a mere 15%. Simon and Schuster decided to make these excisions plain and have printed the book with the offending passages blacked out in the final version. (Canada's National Post has the full story here.)Even with the redactions, it seems the book is still quite readable and worthwhile. You can read a review at salon.com .--David E
