I just looked at the court decision again. Thank goodness my husband had showed me the "find" feature so I was able to see the two references quickly and easily.
It appears the first time Cooper was subpoenaed last summer the grand jury was interested in these two articles. He got out of contempt then by giving limited testimony (the Libby didn't mention Plame testimony), And I see the newer subpoena indeed is for the same two articles.
It's funny because I had made it a point to look up and re-read the July 13 article right after I read this decision the first time, but this July 21 article had skipped right off of my radar.
Again, most interesting. I better file it away.
"I better file it away"
Not too deep. I think it's the core of the matter.
the "July 13" and "21" articles are one in the same. 13 is the date it was posted on the web (before Novak's article). 21 the issue date on the paper magazine.
As I read it the first subpena was limited to Libby. Cooper probably said "It wasn't him", he wouldn't answer subsequent questions so they gave him another subpena.
