"it was, KR said, wilson's wife, who apparently works at the agency on wmd issues who authorized the trip."

Suspect #3.Cooper himself.

The language of the email is ambiguous. It's possible that all Rove said was "Wilson's wife authorized the trip." The "who apparently works at the agency on wmd issues" clause could just be Cooper's own background knowledge. It isn't clear from the email.
