On Friday, Cooper's lawyers argued against sending him to the D.C. jail, saying it is a "dangerous maximum security lockup already overcrowded with a mix of convicted offenders and other detainees awaiting criminal trials."

Keep your eye on the sparrow and don’t do the crime if you ain’t Robert Blake.

It seems that he saw through the sham of Time trying to finesse the info so that it would seem to point to Rove, when the truth is much different. Let's let Cooper tell the truth or face possible perjury.

My thought on this is that there is no proof that the computer records were not altered in anyway to mislead the Grand Jury and without the testimony, Cooper cannot be held for perjury. Additionally, there is also the side investigation into the CIA leak to the terrorist supporting agency that was being investigated by HSA, that would not be included in notes.

I don't understand why no one else is talking about this side investigation.

A federal prosecutor on Tuesday demanded that Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper testify before a grand jury investigating the leak of a CIA officer's identity, even though Time Inc. has surrendered e-mails and other documents in the probe.

Trust but verify...

Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald also opposed the request of Cooper and New York Times reporter Judith Miller to be granted home detention _ instead of jail _ for refusing to reveal their sources....

Who does Judith Miller think she is, Martha Stewart?? Go Fitzgerald GO! As for Lassie, I hope his day before the Grand Jury comes very soon. Roll over and beg will be his best tricks in that room! Woof!

There is no way in my opinion Karl Rove is the one who 'outed' Plame. If Cooper and Miller got that info. first hand from Rove they would have used it to nail the Bush administration in the '04 election. If Rove released these reporters from keeping their discussions confidential then it obviously CAN NOT be Rove who outed Plame. It makes no sense these reporters would go to jail for someone who said it was OK to testify before the grand jury in relation to their discussions.

No, Cooper and Miller could be going to jail tomorrow for failing to disclose their sources to the prosecutor. Their source/sources OBVIOUSLY desire to maintain their confidentiality.

Rove has testified as has Novak. Why is Novak not being held in contempt? Obviously he testified to his source. I say the prosecutor already knows where this information came from. So why hasn't the 'informant' been charged with a crime?

And another thing.....you can't tell me that the EPIC PROPORTIONS the press went to do keep Bush from winning reelection that if Rove did what O'Donnell is accusing him of they would not have used it to derail Bush's chances of winning. After all, Dan Rather and CBS actually LIED on national TV to try to keep Bush from winning. Don't tell me if the press actually had the TRUTH and that truth would have hurt Bush they wouldn't have used it.

Nah. In my mind the person they are protecting is one of their own.
