Really. How's that? The available information says that Rove was *a* source - and nowhere is it said that there weren't others. So how does that make him a "key player?"
"The latest news reports indicate that Rove is the source who Cooper was trying to protect until last week -- and that Rove tipped Cooper about Plame three days before Robert Novak published his now-famous column exposing Plame's identity."
No. The latest news reports indicate that Rove was *a* source. The latest reports do not "indicate that he was *the* source for anything. And the "latest reports" have absolutely nothing to say about whether or not Rove mentioned Plame's name, or for that matter if he even knew her name.
So, I guess we're left with the usual exaggerated nonsense from the Leftists in the news media.
Not to mention that yesterday Andrea Mitchell yesterday, on MSNBC no less, admitted that it was common knowledge around DC that Plame was CIA.
