OK, but still it seems that Cooper was able to avoid jail by cooperating with Fitzgerald on Rove and Libby. what I do not understand, is if indeed Fitzgerald is trying to widen the scope of this beyond Rove & Libby, why doesn't he press Cooper to identify all his sources? the precedent of jailing Miller is there for non-cooperation.
This is why I am having my doubts about Fitzgerald, what he really is after.
I believe that I heard that Cooper used the famous Clinton defence, I don't recall, when he was asked about his original source. There is nothing that a prosecutor can say to that, if you don't remember, you don't remember.
I confess, I'm surprised and disappointed that the focus appears to be on Libby and Rove and that it's looking like Fitzgerald is focusing on the idiotic Plame and her blasted name.
It makes no sense if he could establish early on that she was not undercover---and/or that even if she were that the other elements of the statute were not even close to being violated by anything Rove or Libby did.
The good guys have a right to defend themselves and it makes me sick to think he is really looking into that aspect.
We shall see.
