Something isn’t quite connecting for me in the matter of Karl Rove’s involvement in the outing of a CIA agent. That’s in spite of my belief that I have paid very close attention to the matter from the earliest days.<\/p>\n

I need to walk through a few things to come to grips with this:<\/p>\n

There are 3 reporters involved. Robert Novak published an article that made Plame’s identity public; he wrote that TWO administration insiders had confirmed this.<\/p>\n

Matt Cooper and Judith Miller also knew about Plame from someone in the administration. (Miller was a big fan of the WMD lie.) How do we know that Cooper and Miller knew anything — did they publish that fact or is this a leak from the special investigation \/ grand jury?<\/p>\n

Cooper says his source released him to talk but, I believe, has not publicly said that source is Rove. Miller is in jail — we do not know who her source is.<\/p>\n

Novak is not in jail, so we assume he has cooperated. Who are the TWO sources?<\/p>\n

I believe Rove’s lawyer says that Rove learned about Plame from<\/i> Novak (leaving TWO other sources for Novak) and mentioned “Mrs. Wilson” to Cooper. Some sources say this was to indicate that Wilson was lying when he said Cheney sent him to Africa. How does one disprove the other? <\/p>\n

I want to know who Novak’s other one (or two or more) sources were — and how the source knew. Do all 3 reporters have exactly the same source(s)?<\/p>\n

I don’t want Rove to become a martyr so that someone else gets off free. I want to know why Novak isn’t in jail and why he still has a job as a reporter. mjh<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
