Rove was warning Cooper not to trust Wilson. Rove was entirely correct.
<< Rove was warning Cooper not to trust Wilson.

Absolutely.
The controversy arose when Wilson wrote an op-ed column in The New York Times saying that he had been sent by the CIA in February 2002 to investigate charges that Iraq was trying to buy uranium from the African country of Niger. Wilson said he had found no evidence to support the claim. Wilson's column was an early attack on the evidence used by the Bush administration to justify going to war in Iraq. The White House wished to discredit Wilson and his attacks. The question for the prosecutor is whether someone in the administration, in an effort to undermine Wilson's credibility, intentionally revealed the covert identity of his wife.
Wilson is out lying but Spikey (as has a bevy of reporters before him) paints it as the WH making an "effort to undermine" the pompous and prevaricating Wilson.
The exact opposite of the fact that the Wilson gang (including the lovely and daring Valerie) was making a huge effort to undermine a sitting U.S. President at time of war.
And this from the article is exactly right:
A source close to Rove, who declined to be identified because he did not wish to run afoul of the prosecutor or government investigators, added that there was "absolutely no inconsistency" between Cooper's e-mail and what Rove has testified to during his three grand-jury appearances in the case. "A fair reading of the e-mail makes clear that the information conveyed was not part of an organized effort to disclose Plame's identity, but was an effort to discourage Time from publishing things that turned out to be false," the source said, referring to claims in circulation at the time that Cheney and high-level CIA officials arranged for Wilson's trip to Africa.
That is exactly what I and others have said from the start---this "retaliation" idea is ludicrous but was merely explanation for why anti-Bush Wilson had gone to Niger.
I disagree with the Newsweek editorial addition of "referring to claims in circulation" about Cheney---yes, that was part of the sensible and truthful Rove warning to reporters that Wilson was being dishonest---but also the part about the scope and content of Wilson's investigation and "findings".
I would be interested when Rove and others in the WH got the particulars of Wilson going at the behest of Plame story. I contend it was after Wilson's op-ed. But nobody was characterizing Plame as "undercover" until after Novak's column and I'm guessing Rove and others learned it the same way Novak did---by asking why this jerk had been sent on such a mission.
Makes sense to me..
Its begining to Look a lot like Xmas!!!!!!
I loved watching ABC news tonight, he is an actual quote from ABC NEWS.
"that it's quite clear that Rove has broken no laws and done nothing illegal."
Lets read that again.
"that it's quite clear that Rove has broken no laws and done nothing illegal."
Its time to celebrate this was it for the spendocrats and the DUmmies.
Not only wont they get anywhere near hurting Bush over this, they wont even hurt ROVE, the only thing ROVE has to worry about is BUSH not being pleased.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
This is the best news I heard this year, a lot of people owe Rove one big sorry, he did everything correct.
Bush may not be pleased because it bought negative attention, but that is all gone now, its a dead story, no one from the WH will go down for this.
ITS A DEAD STORY IN TERMS OF ROVE.
IN YOUR FACE DU!
The Left, pushing the boundaries of deceit to unprecedented levels, as per usual. Soon even hard-core useful idiot Leftists won't believe them -- incurable liars all.
