BINGO. Rove knew Plames name but not her position unless it was already common knowledge.

The D.C. jail.

Brit Hume now says this is turning out to be a puzzling case.

Oh, Brit---you guys at Fox simply must stop buying beltway spin.

This may have the well-known "chilling effect" on sources, but who cares.

It's just the MSM's way of getting stuff out there for which they have no legitimate source.

Sources: if you don't want to be known, don't leak.

Got it?

Fox news reporter said that Miller said iher source released her as well but that she believed the source was "coerced" so she refused to budge.

Brit Hume: Began as possible criminal leak of a CIA operative. There's a lot to prove there. That the person knew that what they were saying was outting an undercover operative, etc., and it's not easily proven.

It was always more likely that no one was trying to out anyone, that it was a passing comment by someone who had no intention to pass along a secret and no criminal intent.

Brit continues that the investigation seems to be that the prosecutor is going after someone who made conflicting statements.

Judith Miller's attorey speaking now.

Coerced? Still implying it was somebody high up in the Bush White House?

Miller says her source released her as well? I just got home and had not heard that.

I think it's more than about a "source".

All of a sudden Brit and lawyers and such are finally seeing this may not be what they thought it was about.

Finally!

Source? What happened to the NY Times 2 source rule?

Miller wanted home confinement: Judge said "no.".

Miller wanted a different prison: Judge said "no".

Miller wanted to surrender at a later date: Judge said "no".

I'm liking this judge.

Brit: Matt Cooper's source just released him from confidentiality so it doesn't make any sense that Cooper's source was Karl Rove (since Karl previously released all reporters from confidentiality).

"Fox news reporter said that Miller said iher source released her as well but that she believed the source was "coerced" so she refused to budge."

The BS is so large. Washington Post planted similar disinfo yesterday. Scooter Libby released everyone. The subpenas are for much more information than they are portrayed.

Both Miller and Cooper complained the subpenas basically asked them to "open up" their notebooks and contact sheets.

Good point about the two point rule with journalists.

No toby---Rove may or may not have known Plame's name in the matter of course, but he would have NO KNOWLEDGE that Joe Wilson went to Niger until Wilson's op-ed.

Once the op-ed was written, Rove would have NO KNOWLEDGE of why Wilson had been sent.

Rove probably heard about Plame from reporters if he heard about it before Novak's column.

Exactly like Novak said in late 2003.
