ts legal appeals exhausted, Time magazine agreed last week to turn over reporter Matthew Cooper's e-mails and computer notes to a special prosecutor investigating the leak of an undercover CIA agent's identity. The case has been the subject of press controversy for two years. Saying "we are not above the law," Time Inc. Editor in Chief Norman Pearlstine decided to comply with a grand-jury subpoena to turn over documents related to the leak. But Cooper and Judith Miller (NYTimes) are still refusing to testify and face jail this week......
The e-mails surrendered by Time Inc., which are largely between Cooper and his editors, show that one of Cooper's sources was White House deputy chief of staff Karl Rove......It is unclear, however, what passed between Cooper and Rove.
The controversy began three days before the Time piece appeared, when columnist Robert Novak, writing about Wilson's trip, reported that Wilson had been sent at the suggestion of his wife, who was identified by name as a CIA operative......Novak appears to have made some kind of arrangement with the special prosecutor.
Cooper agreed to discuss his contact with Scooter Libby, after Libby gave him permission to do so. But Cooper drew the line when special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald asked about other sources......
According Rove's lawyer, Rove spoke to Cooper three or four days before Novak's column appeared. and that Rove "never knowingly disclosed classified information" and that "he did not tell any reporter that Valerie Plame worked for the CIA." Rove himself has testified before the grand jury "two or three times" and has signed a waiver authorizing reporters to testify about their conversations with him....

July 11? A TIME machine perhaps? Who knew?
Am I mistaken but does he have a resemblance to Rush? A little less healthy looking perhaps?
Interesting. It's a plausible theory, but has the MSM said this openly before?
They just can't let this non-story go can they?
The liberal media had their mind made up about Karl Rove before Bush ever got elected. Of course, political operatives like Carville or Begalla are holy patriarchs according to the MSM.
Judith Miller eventually went to jail, lost about 30 pounds (presumably her goal), testified, and went on an extended vacation to the South of France, didn't she? She is now retired from the NY Times and waiting for the GJ to expire, so she can shop her book? Or something? Interesting that Time doesn't bother to dateline its articles with the year! It will be very interesting comparing all versions of all the stories in all the books -- something like a blind Algore describing Manbearpig. Nice that the only one who's been frog-marched to the hoosegow so far has been a NY Times reporterette.
Oh, yeah -- and Cooper ratted out his source at the first drop of a subpoena. So much for confidentiality.
What year is this articles date??
To Michael Isikoff and others:
Keep this story alive for us, ok? It's going to be great during the heat of the election campaign when the case against Libby is either dropped, and Fitzgerald is shown to be the liberal bias fool that he is, or Libby gets acquitted.
This will be great stuff on a daily basis (for the Republicans) this fall when this story plays in the news every day.
Again, thanks Michael Isikoff, NewswWeek, Time, NYT, WashPost, Wilson, Plame, CNN, Blitzer, etc.
Is this is from last year.....the bottom of the page says 2006 yet they refer to Judith Miller as a "NY Slimes reporter....
This article is a year old.
Right! It's last year's news! Just amazing that Time doesn't dateline its articles with the YEAR!!!!
This is almost a year old.
This looks like brand-new stuff to me.......but the reference to Miller looks outdated....their mistake I believe
No it's not new -- see previous post.
Thanks .. I thought so .. but the picture they have of Rove through me off
......The case has been the subject of press controversy for two years.
???
And in the latest hearings on information from media, as subpoened by Team Libby, the Judge said that Time Mag MUST give all their info to Team Libby NOW, because the information shows that Cooper is an impeachable witness. In other words, Cooper's own material shows he is a liar. Some of the legal beagles have suggested that Fitzy may drop those charges against Libby where Cooper's testimony is needed for trial.
You're welcome.
