CNN's Howard Kurtz on His Reliable Sources covers the subject, scroll way way down to get to it:

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0507/03/rs.01.html

"...................................................................................................................................................................
YORK: I would certainly like to know, but I don't think -- my guess is that -- and I believe Novak has actually said that he's waiting until this thing is resolved, and the case is not resolved at this point. Fitzgerald has given us the idea that most of it has been taken care of, but he was fixing up I believe what he called loose ends. And I think Novak has said, after it's resolved, then he'll talk.

KURTZ: You are referring to Patrick Fitzgerald, the special prosecutor...

YORK: Exactly.

KURTZ: ... in the Plame case.

Now, Frank Sesno, "Newsweek's" Michael Isikoff reports this morning that e-mails turned over by "Time" -- these are Matt Cooper's e-mails -- show that Karl Rove, the president's top domestic policy adviser in the White House, was a source for Matt Cooper. But Rove's lawyer, while confirming that he was interviewed by Matt Cooper, says he did not disclose Valerie Plame's CIA status to Matt Cooper or anyone else. So does this story get us very far in understanding...?

SESNO: It certainly gets us to the chapter we might entitle if we writing a book, "be careful what you wish for," because if you're the president of the United States or you're any of the people around the president -- and I've covered White Houses -- they all leak when it serves their interests. When something like this happens, and if the reporter is forced to turn over notes, you don't know what's going to be out there. And we do know that Cooper had conversations, apparently, with Rove. What those conversations were, what those notes contained, obviously we're going to find out more, it appears we'll find out more, in the days ahead.

KURTZ: Right. I mean, obviously this is an explosive story, but I do want to stress, there is no evidence so far that Rove was the one or one of the administration officials who turned over Valerie Plame's name to Cooper or anyone else, but something tells me there will be a lot of follow-ups. ""

I am beginning to wonder if we have "fake but accurate" notes from Cooper. If so, this is AGAIN times (like the last whoop-de-doo about the yellowcake) while Bush is overseas, guaranteeing that any questions while he is at the G-8 will be about Rove and NOT what he has accomplished at the G-8.

However, I STILL like the idea of O'Donnell having a cocaine addiction. I will bet cash money I am right.

Sesno is an idiot.

Kurtz is moderately better (but not much).
