Matt Cooper's Source

• Washington: Politics, Court & the Press
7/10/05: Eleanor Clift, NEWSWEEK Editor and TV Commentator; and Michael Isikoff, NEWSWEEK investigative correspondent, Washington

In a brief conversation with Rove, Cooper asked what to make of the flap over Wilson's criticisms. NEWSWEEK obtained a copy of the e-mail that Cooper sent his bureau chief after speaking to Rove. Fitzgerald has been looking for evidence that Rove spoke to other reporters as well.

The noose gets tighter. I am holding off before I comment further - but it is always the little stuff that gets those in power.

Tax evasion and Al Capone - a little duct tape on a door and Richard Nixon... we will see if a little e-mail will get Rove.

Nothing in the Cooper e-mail suggests that Rove used Plame's name or knew she was a covert operative.

Someone can very easily get a persons name across without actually saying it. (I would like to say something about someone who is married to Bush, so I'll say it, but I won't tell you her name. Get the point?)

And as for preventing publishing "false items", I'm sure thats the only reason for the e-mail, right? There couldn't possibly be any other reason for it, could there? This administration would never do something underhanded under the guise of doing something else, eh? Maybe they didn't, but looking at their track record, I sure as hell aren't going to just give them a questionless benefit of the doubt.

"Reading may be fundamental", but the ability to understand more complex concepts is pretty damn important too.


In any case, we know IF he is responsible, he'll probably just be pardoned. Regardless, it sure would be nice to see this on the evening news:

"If there's a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is. If the person has violated law, that person will be taken care of. I welcome the investigation. I am absolutely confident the Justice Department will do a good job. I want to know the truth." -- George W. Bush, Feb. 11, 2004

I see.

In that case, perhaps the title of this thread should be edited to read:

***Confirmed*** ...through innuendo and speculation ... Karl Rove (blah, blah, blah) LOL!





And, it's PLAME. Not Plume, LOL.

"I didn't know her name. I didn't leak her name," Rove told CNN last year when asked if he had anything to do with the Plame leak.



What is the definition of "is"?

I wonder if Miller would reveal her source in a closed session of Congress?

Reading is fundamental, all right, how many friggin' wives do you think Wilson has? You guys will try anything to obfuscate the facts. It is mind boggling.

JustGiggles, Millar was a major supporter of the Bush Admin justification for the Iraq invasion, so yeah, leave Millar in jail sounds fine by me.

Except when the Grand Jury is finished, she gets out. But a Congressional panel could subpoenae her and let her rot in jail forever.

That's why it's been so amusing to see just who is coming to her defense these days Smile

The thing is, Rove has made fools out of the liberals, socialists, communists, and Democrats (actually, the same thing, I know) for years, and that's why they want him out.

The only ones who really care about any of this are the ones who hate Mr. Rove.
