I don't know whether or not it is true, but this seems to be right up their alley. Throw out an allegation and then shriek conspiracy when it can't be proven.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see how this pans out.
Unless O'Donnell is just committing suicide or was smoking too much weed, this is a strange and awfully explosive accusation to make. I guess we'll find out.

Editor and Publisher magazine: MSNBC Analyst Says Cooper Documents Reveal Karl Rove as Source in Plame Case
Now that Time Inc. has turned over documents to federal court, presumably revealing who its reporter, Matt Cooper, identified as his source in the Valerie Plame/CIA case, speculation runs rampant on the name of that source, and what might happen to him or her.

Here is the transcript of O'Donnell's remarks:
"What we're going to go to now in the next stage, when Matt Cooper's e-mails, within Time Magazine, are handed over to the grand jury, the ultimate revelation, probably within the week of who his source is.
"And I know I'm going to get pulled into the grand jury for saying this but the source of...for Matt Cooper was Karl Rove, and that will be revealed in this document dump that Time magazine's going to do with the grand jury."
Other panelists then joined in discussing whether, if true, this would suggest a perjury rap for Rove, if he told the grand jury he did not leak to Cooper
