This latest claim Valerie PLAME'S identity was revealed then leaked in a memo is TWISTED BEYOND BELIEF.

The memo referred to her as VALERIE WILSON

This latest theory that the super secret identity of VALERIE PLAME was LEARNED from a memo then leaked from that memo is BOGUS.

The Washington Post reported Thursday the identity of Valerie Plame -- identified by her married name of Valerie Wilson --

Investigators are also trying to determine whether the gist of the information in the document, including the name of the C.I.A. officer, Valerie Wilson, Mr. Wilson's wife ,

OK. but I am not sure that is enough to say "Rove is not a target" of this GJ. these GJ presentations can be very one sided, I think alot of freepers are projecting their hopes onto what Fitzgerald is doing - and he may not be doing that at all.

It may very well have been meant to be classified but just from what Novak has stated, there was at least one person inside the CIA talking about or at least confirming Wilson's wife. The memo seems to have made good talking points for some in the media but when all is said and done the questions have to be answered about who in the CIA was talking to reporters and who was on the receiving end of the CIA source? We know of Novak now is Miller another one? Did Cooper lie about Rove being the first to tell him? Coopers wife worked for the DNC and so did Wilson so did they ever exchange spouse stories? Now, there was way too much other circumstances that happened before this memo for anyone to say it was the "cause" of the "leak" such as Wilson talking to Kristof, Corn and probably Miller and a meeting between INR and CIA analyst in which Plame introduced her husband Wilson.

Well, you may be correct because the prosecutor told all the witnesses that they were prohibited from speaking about the procedings because they were all potential targets. I think what Rove's lawyer meant was that the investigation had moved beyond Rove.

Yes, he did, and we don't know what he didn't tell us. The prosecutor's order has no teeth. All of a sudden the libs started talking anyway and the prosecutor had nothing to use to enforce his directive.

Cooper getting on all the news shows talking about his testimony was nothing more than code to his real sources, Wilson and probably someone in the CIA, that he didn't talk about them. He knows he can't call them direct because he's afraid of being tagged. He really seemed to emphasize, or it may have just been the MSM, that the first he heard about "Wilson's Wife" was from Rove. Now Wilson and Cooper has really been flooding the airwaves after being told not to talk about it.

sure, but how can he "not talk". that implies he wasn't asked. he has no right not to talk. if he is sending a code to his real sources, what this really means is not that he didn't talk, it means that Fitzgerald didn't ask him. that's why my faith in Fitzgerald is slipping. I really think the best thing that could happen now - is for this whole thing to just close up. I don't think Fitzgerald is going to be able to uncover any real truths in this, Miller is not going to talk. and absent that, I am worried he may just go for some "low hanging fruit" indictment of Rove.

I don't think Fitzgerald could even get the lowest hanging fruit on Rove without answering some other questions about who in the CIA have been talking to reporters.

The prosecutor has said that he interested in conversations that Cooper and Miller had with a source on subjects other than Plame's CIA identity

Can you provide a link to that statement being made please? Thanks

It was on FOX News, repeated every half hour, the day before Cooper was to testify, as justification for demanding that he appear in person, rather than just accepting the notes from his conversation.
