The problem is...BY EVERYONES CONCLUSION...she was not an agent at the time. The beef really was...Cheney didn't appoint Wilson and it appears the WH didn't even know Wilson was going.
THERE WAS NEVER A WRITTEN REPORT BY WILSON. Why??
I read it and don't think that last part is a big deal. In fact the article implies he hates reporters more so. I am sure he is used to calls from lawyers trying to get a read on his thoughts. He couldn't tell Luskin "No, don't need anything else", cause he he Luskin would go right to the press and say Rove is in the clear. In fact, Fitzgerald not saying anything is better then answering "Yes, get Rove in here now!!!"
I would be more concerned about how Cooper spun things in his testimony. I heard that on Meet the Press Cooper said this was a war on Wilson. Cooper was probably pissed that Luskin told National Review that Cooper burned Karl.
The best part of your Newsweek article "Associates say Fitzgerald is wary of reporters, dating back to his days trying terrorist cases...Fitzgerald had accused Miller of compromising a probe into Islamic charities by phoning one of the groups just before a government crackdown."
As I understood the "take the bait" phrase, it was ROVE's comment to the WH security on trying to be sucked into naming the source. We'd better confirm what this phrase means, because, I admit when I saw it I thought it exonerated Rove.
