Luskin points out that on the evening of July 11, 2003, just hours after the Rove-Cooper conversation, then-CIA Director George Tenet released a statement that undermined some of Wilson's public assertions about his report. "Karl knew that that [Tenet] statement was in gestation," says Luskin. "I think a fair reading of the e-mail was that he was trying to warn Cooper off from going out on a limb on [Wilson's] allegations."

I have posted Tenet's Statement many times over the last two years.

Getting this bit of information that Rove was aware by this Cooper conversation that he knew the gist of some of what Tenet would say makes sense--obviously Tenet and others (reporters and adminiistration officials) were trying to figure out why the hell Wilson had been sent to Niger and why was he making these bizarre charges.

Cooper becomes more despicable with each revelation (not surprising). What is surprising is that Fox news took on Cooper as a pundit recently, evidently due to his new-found notoriety. I find that disgusting. He is unethical and deceitful.
