"If Rove released Cooper, why did he not also release Miller? Could it be that he was not the ONLY member of the White House who was telephoning journalists?? Who telephoned Novak, Russert and Mitchell??"

Is it possible that Miller is protecting herself because she is the original leak???

It's possible that Miller is the one who told Karl Rove (though I suspect it was Tennant).

It is also possible that Plame (or Wilson) was Miller's source. Miller is a reporter specializing in WMD. Plame was working for CIA, specializing in WMD. It's quite likely they knew each other -- and what each other did.

Given that Miller won't answer questions about a source for a story she never wrote, it's possible that she became involved in the investigation because somebody (Rove?) said "Miller is the one who told me about Plame".
