This confirms my theory that the information came from someone in the Kerry camp, and not from the President nor anyone in his administration.

If Scooter Libby had given that information to Cooper (who is married to Mandy Grunewald), Cooper would have testified in a New York minute "for the good of the country."

Can you believe how idiotic the New York Times sounds as they huff and puff as is their usual wont?

My understanding is Libby has waived any confidentiality and wants these reporters to testify to their conversations with him so that it is established beyond any doubt that he didn't leak Plame's "name".

I despise the Times, but sometimes they make me laugh, too. This is one of those times. They like to sound like they know what they're talking about, but they don't.

I can't wait to see if someone on the left is charged in this affair. Their head will blow up!!

LOL

Anone know why Tim Russert was interviewed? I did not hear any REASON given! And Timmy the Toad was allowed to give LIMITED info!! I guess the law is just for the Little guys!

"This confirms my theory that the information came from someone in the Kerry camp, and not from the President nor anyone in his administration."

But Novak said - at least in his case - that the information came from someone in the Bush administration. He also said the info was not shopped to him and that it came out offhandedly in the course of a long conversation with someone who is "not a political gunslinger." So the info was handed on casually because it was believed to be common knowledge, not as an attempt to "get" Wilson. (It's still never been clear to me exactly how the information about Plame was supposed to harm Wilson. There's nothing particularly scandalous - on the surface, at least - in the fact that she helped secure the Niger assignment for him.)
