Spring practice begins without Hoeppner

By John Wustrow · Wednesday, March 21,2007 12 a.m.

By Aparna Venkatraman · Wednesday, March 21,2007 12 a.m.

THE FACTS: Former CIA agent Valerie Plame accused the Bush administration of “carelessly and recklessly” revealing her identity as retaliation for her husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson, criticizing the war in Iraq.
