Rove is smarter than that, that's why there is no story.
cooper is just being a drama queen about 'being freed' by his source. he's lying. The fool was FREED by his non source 18 months ago.

There is NO meat on this bone. It is all a fabrication of the LSM. Read the whole article. Clearly shows that Rove was not coerced into signing the waiver, and did sign it 18 months ago.
Media is trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill, but will sink into the quick-sand created by Wilson.

Your ordinary average American could really care less about this whole (non) story. It just doesn't resonate.

It seems to me that Cooper was acting in that which seems a conspiracy to falsely incriminate Rove. Matt Cooper should do hard time in a hard place.

Just heard 3 judges say there was nothing to this at all. And they did make note of the fact that the woman was working at Langley, which meant that everyone who wanted to could see her going to work there. Her husband had also said the same thing, so what is the big deal? Right, there is none, but by george, the dims are going to get somebody, just anybody would do, but Rove would be a prize. I think he is safe.

So, could the reporters have stonewalled the investigation to make it appear as though there were something to hide? Nah, they wouldn't do that, would they? This is too pathetic to be funny.

Agree with #6 - this just does not resonate with most people. The only way it hurts Rove is if he resigns, or is fired.
Your average Joe is enjoying the summer (or dealing with floods, depending), ignoring political news.
The democrats and MSM are nothing more than a background buzz of barking moonbat, foaming at the mouth, psychotic ranting. IOW, business as usual.

This is so typical of the lefty reporters. They just report whatever they want to report. Also, have you noticed how all the Dims are out on TV using the word "criminal" and trying to hook that to Rove. They are the lying criminals, and I am sick to death of them.

I smell a book deal for Cooper. He has played the drama of the "The Source" for all its worth. Now we know the truth, that Rove had signed a disclosure agreement 18 months ago. Cooper should be tried for purjury for lying about the need to protect his source. His source gave him a blank check to print his statements and attribute them to him.

Here's my qustion: Cooper certainly confirmed Plame's CIA connections with someone, Rove having been qualifying and inexact in his description of her - so, exactly who was that? That's the source of the name tied to the agency, the so-called crime, IMHO. My guess is Miller's in the cooler to protect THAT source.

I still think there's way, way more to this story than we know yet. Who is Miller protecting? Certainly not Rove.
This story is complicated and the media is already so deep into its lies on this one that there's no way they-re going to come out and really explain it all to the public. People don't care about it, but that won't stop the media sh-tstorm that's coming anyway.

It seems clear that Rove is tangential to this - Cooper's article says "sources" which one would generally take to mean more than just Rove - and it may be that there is another name, the one that Miller is also holding back.
Still, two things jump out at me, anyway - one is that if there's nothing to this it would seem simpler to address than the White House is making out to be. I think the Administration, which hates being questioned and hates having to reveal anything more than it wants to, is hamstrung by its natural defensiveness with the press. Or the alternative is that there IS something to this, and it's not so hot, at the very least.
The second is that the underlying result - that the Administration was working hard to discredit Wilson and probably overreached in doing so - is probably what matters here in terms of public opinion, and is not a complicated story to tell. And perception's going to be the big deal here, probably more so than the truth, whatever that winds up being.

This is all about throwing continual defecation at the Bush administration in the hope that some, even a fleck, will stick.

wilson lied.
got that? wilson lied.
from the article: 'What Karl was trying to do, in a very short conversation initiated by Cooper on another subject, was to warn Time away from publishing things that were going to be established as false.'
and they WERE established as false. wilson lied. hello?
