Under the circumstances, there is no reason to believe that Plame any longer held "covert status". And, even if she did, there is no reason to believe that Rove would've known of it. Intelligence wasn't his job. And Tennant had obviously not alerted the White House with regard to any "covert status" for Plame when he told them it was "Wilson's wife, who works in CPD" who had recommended Wilson for the trip.

I'd like to know who told Rove what he told Cooper? And why did Rove tell Cooper? And before the moonbats flame me for not being "on the correct talking points". No, I'm not a sicko commie spy from DU.

According to Brit Hume last night, Karls lawyer has stated that it was actually a reporter that told Karl (no idea who told the reporter), and the reason he told Cooper was not to "out" Plame, but to warn Cooper to not print an untrue story about VP Cheney sending Wilson to Niger.

See #93...it is highly probable that it was Miller, that is why she is still in jail, she is protecting HERSELF from prosecution.

I'd like to know who told Rove what he told Cooper?

Two possibilities:

1. George Tennant. He held a press conference the evening of the day that Rove spoke with Cooper in order to clarify that the CIA had not sent Wilson on an official mission at the behest of the Vice President (as Wilson was suggesting).

And why did Rove tell Cooper?

From the context of Cooper's e-mail, it sounds very much like Rove was trying to do Cooper and Time a favor -- suggesting that they not "get too far out there" on Wilson's story, which contained some easily identifiable errors of fact.
