What I don't understand is that if Rove told Cooper that Plame was CIA specifically "on double secret background" then isn't it Cooper who should be fired for "outing" a CIA agent when he published information given to him in confidence? It was Cooper, not Rove, who outed her.

What the hell is a "non-official covert agent?"

Is it somebody who is PLAYING covert?

Just a "feeling"....but I think Judith Miller and the N.Y. Slimes is covering for the former terrorist czar. Richard Clarke.

May the Force be with Rove.

"None of them responded saying you’re a Democratic partisan hack and your views suck," said Wilson.

Only a demonrat partisan hack would know that they demand being called a Democratic instead of a Democrat; therefore, he was and is one.

Little Joey Wilson should be sent to prison where he belongs for taking a Yellow Cake Junket to Africa at the taxpayers' expense only so he could come back and "write" a Bush/America-bashing op-ed for the old gray whore, the NYT.

Exactly!

And from what I read somewhere online today, Cooper, who really does have a wicked sense of humor, probably just put that in the email of his own accord.

From Newsweek:

It was 11:07 on a Friday morning, July 11, 2003, and Time magazine correspondent Matt Cooper was tapping out an e-mail to his bureau chief, Michael Duffy. "Subject: Rove/P&C," (for personal and confidential), Cooper began. "Spoke to Rove on double super secret background for about two mins before he went on vacation ..." Cooper proceeded to spell out some guidance on a story that was beginning to roil Washington. He finished, "please don't source this to rove or even WH [White House]" and suggested another reporter check with the CIA.


**I'd love to see the entire email.

Oh, what an honor for the BRAD BLOG to speak with an admitted, confirmed liar. It must have been quite a thrill.

"Is it somebody who is PLAYING covert?"

Or maybe it's someone who hasn't as yet received their "Secret Decoder Ring."

Wilson and his wife are the ones who should be investigated. They used the CIA for their own political purposes.

Karl Rove, Whistleblower

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1441869/posts

Democrats and most of the Beltway press corps are baying for Karl Rove's head over his role in exposing a case of CIA nepotism involving Joe Wilson and his wife, Valerie Plame. On the contrary, we'd say the White House political guru deserves a prize -- perhaps the next iteration of the "Truth-Telling" award that The Nation magazine bestowed upon Mr. Wilson before the Senate Intelligence Committee exposed him as a fraud.

For Mr. Rove is turning out to be the real "whistleblower" in this whole sorry pseudo-scandal. He's the one who warned Time's Matthew Cooper and other reporters to be wary of Mr. Wilson's credibility. He's the one who told the press the truth that Mr. Wilson had been recommended for the CIA consulting gig by his wife, not by Vice President Dick Cheney as Mr. Wilson was asserting on the airwaves. In short, Mr. Rove provided important background so Americans could understand that Mr. Wilson wasn't a whistleblower but was a partisan trying to discredit the Iraq War in an election campaign. Thank you, Mr. Rove.

No cover. Upper management, college recruiters, congressional liaisons, Director George Tenet: These men and women are publicly acknowledged CIA employees.

Light cover. Many of the CIA's analysts and scientists fall under this category. Their families and friends might know who they really work for, but publicly, they claim to be employed by some other innocuous government agency or group. One former intelligence officer described this as "the cover you use if your airplane gets hijacked": It's safe enough to use on a quick visit overseas, say to meet with intelligence counterparts in a friendly country, but insufficient cover for spies stationed abroad.

Official cover. Most CIA employees engaged in operations overseas are given official cover: a sham job in the U.S. embassy (or working for another government agency) that affords them diplomatic immunity. These spies work under varying degrees of secrecy—the CIA station chief in a major ally nation may be well-known on the diplomatic cocktail circuit, but his subordinates, who actually recruit new informants, may not be. Such spies probably confide in their immediate families, but otherwise are unlikely to reveal their true occupation. (Although some operatives working in allied nations are "declared" officers, which means the CIA informs the host government that they are spies.) The advantage of official cover is that if officers are caught, they enjoy the benefits of diplomatic protection; at worst, they'd be publicly outed and sent home in disgrace.

Nonofficial cover. NOCs (the word rhymes with "rocks") are the most covert CIA operatives. They typically work abroad without diplomatic protection (often they pretend to work for some commercial enterprise). If these spies are caught, there's no guarantee that the United States would admit their true identities. When using official cover could put a spy's life and work at risk, NOC is the only alternative.

I'm sorry, but this is BS. As much as I despise Wilson for the weasel he is, there's no way in hell that he would ever utter something as childish as this. This whole "story" makes an Indymedia rant look like good writing.

Read those remarks by Tenet on 7/11/03; According to somebody I heard tonight, what Cooper didn't know that Rove knew was that Tenet was getting ready to make those very remarks that night Rove was talking to Cooper; I think Rove was really trying to warn a friend off a bad story.
