No he doesn't. Cooper, in the article, quotes Libby as saying, "Yeah, I heard that too."

Fitzgerald says Libby says he heard it from reporters. Big difference.

Cooper: "Basically, I asked Libby if he had heard anything about Wilson's wife having been involved in sending him to Niger. Libby responded with words to the effect of, "Yeah, I've heard that too." "

Indictment: "LIBBY confirmed for Cooper, without qualification, that LIBBY had heard that Wilson’s wife worked at the CIA"

What Cooper claims he said and the indictment says that Cooper said are essentially the same.

The whole thing seems like a tempest in a teapot, but apparently this prosecutor is not going to let Libby get away with false statements to the FBI and the grand jury. Either he believes that Libby lied intentionally or he is using the indictment to pressure Libby.
