Miller is in jail, because Karl Rove is NOT her source and leaked NOTHING!
Should we not look at the connection between Cooper and Miller? Did they coordinate their efforts? Those of you more talented than me could ferret out the facts. Just thoughts from an old guy.
Cooper is a lying piece of detritus.
bttt
yes, Cooper is a liar. but that is not surprising. why Rove is even talking to this man, I have no idea.
I heard Byron York on Mark Levin - when Cooper's lawyer made that call to Rove's lawyer asking him to "reaffirm" his release - Rove's lawyer should have hung up on him. instead, he provided an affirmation that was legally meaningless, but allowed Cooper to grand stand and say he got a "last minute release". I would expect Rove and his lawyer would have understood how the media would spin this.
These left-wing rags don't publish any facts anyway so there is no point giving them background for a story.
put down a little bait,And soon the flies will come. :-)
Please read the article, it planly explains the facts and Mr. Rove did not walk into any trap! You are wishing he did and really supporting my thought that there are no patriots left in Philly.Are you sure your car isn't named a disrupter? maybe the other poster wasn't referring to your car????
MSM = CREEPY LIARs
What ticks me off the most about this that we are at war for pete's sake and instead of reporting on Saddam's connections to terrorism and Zarqawi etc. during 2003, the press was colluding to set up Karl Rove?
What the HECK is wrong with these people?
I heard most of Rush's show today; I don't recall him saying exactly that he knew WHO-- just that it ain't Rove and it's probably someone whose identity would severely embarrass them. Which would make total sense, and it doesn't describe any Republican. Someone posted today on another thread that the identity of the "leak" could very well be the elusive demonRAT mole in the Bush administration - wouldn't you just love to find that out in court? lol
Then--burn him back.
"Who is she covering for? .....I have a feeling that Miller was the one that tipped off Cooper and Cooper called Rove to set him up on this, thinking it would take him down."
Clinton's looking ahead toward 2008?
I will take off the tinfoil hat now.
There ARE some occasions where tinfoil hats look great.
I think there are going to be a lot of red faces in Washington when Fitzgerald finally reveals what this investigation has all been about.

THE PASSIVE KARL ROVE AND THE ACTIVE JUDITH MILLER [John Podhoretz]
Stick with me--this is a long post.
Byron York has a vital detail in his must-read piece right now on the main part of the NRO website. Karl Rove's lawyer, Robert Luskin, tells Byron that Time's Matt Cooper called Rove to talk about something else and that only secondarily did the subject of Joseph Wilson and Valerie Plame come up.
This is important, because it suggests Rove wasn't "retailing" the information about Wilson and Plame -- wasn't reporter-shopping to drop a dirty dime on those involved -- but was rather a passive source, answering a phone call at the reporter's behest and presumably changing topics to the sexier one at issue at the reporter's behest as well.
Since Rove-centric psychos can devise any scenario whereby he manipulates people into doing everything he wants, I doubt this detail will change any minds in Daily Kos-ville. But it offers an important and nagging clue to the continuing antics of special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald. What do I mean?
It means that clearly information was circulating around Washington about the identity of Wilson's CIA operative wife Valerie Plame. The presumption has thus far been in most quarters that the only people who could have known about this were administration officials.
But what if that's not right? What if the original source for the "Wilson got the job from his CIA wife" was, in fact, a reporter? After all, we know that the vice president's chief of staff, Lewis Libby, has testified he learned of Plame's identity from a journalist.
Wilson had gotten very cozy with a couple of them -- Walter Pincus of the Washington Post and Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times among them. What if he spilled the beans to enhance his own standing in the story somehow, to bolster his supposed findings?
What if -- and here's where it gets really interesting -- what if the real object of interest where Fitzgerald's investigation is concerned is now none other than the jailed Judith Miller of the New York Times? What if she let it all slip and in the giant game of telephone around the nation's capital, Miller was the original source of the "Plame's in the CIA" info? What if Fitzgerald needs her notes to discern whether Miller knew or didn't know of Plame's supposedly covert status?
Fitzgerald already has a major bone to pick with Miller. He believes she materially and dangerously impeded his investigation into a terrorist-financing scheme run by the Holy Land Foundation.
When Miller found out that Fitzgerald was on the verge of indicting Holy Land, she called the Foundation for comment -- and right after her call Fitzgerald believes the Foundation may have commenced a shredding party that ensured prosecutors would find little paperwork to go on when they raided the Holy Land offices.
As the Washington Post put it, "On Dec. 3, 2001, Times reporter Judith Miller telephoned officials with the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, a Texas-based charity accused of being a front for Palestinian terrorists, and asked for a comment about what she said was the government's probable crackdown on the group. U.S. officials said this conversation and Miller's article on the subject in the Times on Dec. 4 increased the likelihood that the foundation destroyed or hid records before a hastily organized raid by agents that day."
Fitzgerald sought her phone records on that occasion to uncover the source of a potential leak in his own office and was blocked by a liberal New York judge named Robert Sweet. Miller didn't get so lucky this time. Fitzgerald thinks Miller has a loose tongue, and for good reason. It's possible he's trying to figure out what other mischief her loose tongue might have caused.
Chew on that for a while. I'm exhausted.
I don't understand why a smart man like Rove would even be thinking about protecting Time and what stories they write. So what if they got it all wrong about Joe Wilson. Let Time pay the penalty. Why would Rove even care what erronous stories Time prints? I think it is just too bad Rove said anything to a reporter and expect that reporter to respect his confidence. That's just too stupid.
