It's the American way, filing a civil suit if nothing happens in criminal court. In this case I think it's valid, her career was derailed by people in the administration. Not sure about success, though, as it's government officials she's suing.
It would be interesting to see what damages she is actually suing for. She is still employed presamably within the CIA and presuambly likewise has not been reduced in terms of pay grade. What compensatory damages could she ask for?

Do she and Joe need to claim some monetary damages and if so isn't this more than a bit offset by their sudden rocketing to rock star status with book revenues and Vanity Fair proceeds accruing as well.

edit - Upon a bit more digging Plame chose to resign form the CIA. Damages would stillbe hard to prove as she chose willingly to end her career not necessarily by being forced out.
