Byron goes soft on Cooper in describing his last minute public announcement, merely "dramatic". I'd call it totally self-serving and intentionally deceptive.
Get a load of Cooper's soap opera statement: "Mr. Cooper told the judge that he had been prepared to go to jail until shortly before the hearing. "Last night I hugged my son good-bye and told him it might be a long time before I see him again," Mr. Cooper said. But just before today's hearing, he had received "in somewhat dramatic fashion" a direct personal communication from his source freeing him from his commitment to keep the source's identity secret. "It's with a bit of surprise and no small amount of relief that I will comply with the subpoena," he told the judge."
What a bunch of horse pucky!
Miller's imprisonment is not about Plame. I think it is about somebody tipping of a terrorist charity about a raid through the NY Times. Here's hoping the SP has the goods without her testimony...
Firing squad your preference?
Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!!!!
More MSM Dan Rather journalism - ho hum.
If you think that, then you don't think too much, do you?
Rove ain't going nowhere.
That's real , and it's really really cool to say it at a wisper at 2 am in a dark ally ;-/
Where did you hear that? I haven't seen anything other than she was jailed by the SP for not releasing her source.
She (and another NY Times reporter) appear to be implicated in a tipoff to an Islamic terroris.., er, "Charity" that was to be raided by the Feds. This Rove thing is a diversion from that matter...
Oh, and her 'source' has released her. She just says it was under duress. Thus, the SP knows who her 'source' was. Notwithstanding, he still wants her under oath before the GJ. Hmmmm. Inquiring minds....
Where is this coming from? If true great, and it would make sense, but is there anything to back that statement up?
This investigation appears to have expanded beyond Plame, in a big way. I looked and looked for the original post that talked about Miller and the tipoff and the best I could find right now is Reply #136 on this thread (lest you think I'm making things up): http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1440992/posts?q=1&&page=101
I have posted Tenet's Statement many times over the last two years.
Getting this bit of information that Rove was aware by this Cooper conversation that he knew the gist of some of what Tenet would say makes sense--obviously Tenet and others (reporters and adminiistration officials) were trying to figure out why the hell Wilson had been sent to Niger and why was he making these bizarre charges.
Cooper becomes more despicable with each revelation (not surprising). What is surprising is that Fox news took on Cooper as a pundit recently, evidently due to his new-found notoriety. I find that disgusting. He is unethical and deceitful.
No no, just need the info to put this story together.
You are right. Those morons Matthews and Gregory don't even realize they are sticking the blade in their own hearts!!! Boy, they sure must have a low opinion of us common folk!!!
Understood, and no offense intended. I really hope the full story comes out in the end...
Very good point. We need to remember that these guys work at manipulating words for a living.
I am only surprised that evidently "the source" that Cooper was claiming released him (and he most certainly hinted "finally released him"--the lying sack of &%$#) was indeed apparently Rove.
I thought it wouldn't have been since we knew Rove had released him long ago.
Obviously what happened is Cooper made his public vow to not testify and chickened out at the end so had his lawyer go through this charade of calling Luskin and then the capper was that dramatic performance Cooper put on about getting a dramatic call.
What a complete creep.
And Cooper flat out LIED on the steps of that courthouse when he claimed his "source" had released him just that morning by phone before he left for court.
Cooper did NOT speak to Luskin OR Rove that day.
I wonder if Rove made Cooper "spit shake?"
Oh, he is, believe it. They've even pro-created and like the person he admires in this story---Joe Wilson---he isn't above using his kid to engender sympathy.
When he was telling his big lie about getting a dramatic phone call releasing him from his source's confidentiality, he shared with us that he had only that morning told his small son goodbye and he didn't know when he'd see him again.
Imagine the tyke's delight to find dear old dad at home that night.
Wretch
