Matt Cooper tours your remote
PlameGate player Matt Cooper was all over the dial yesterday, in person and in print as he and his Time cover story showed up on the news and the news about the news. The big reveal of this story is the quote from Rove, already being pounced on all over the place: “I’ve already said too much.” Big surprise, something else that’s cryptic and inconclusive.
Which leads to the upshot, which is that there’s not really an upshot:
So did Rove leak Plame’s name to me, or tell me she was covert? No. Was it through my conversation with Rove that I learned for the first time that Wilson’s wife worked at the CIA and may have been responsible for sending him? Yes. Did Rove say that she worked at the “agency” on “WMD”? Yes. When he said things would be declassified soon, was that itself impermissible? I don’t know. Is any of this a crime? Beats me. At this point, I’m as curious as anyone else to see what Patrick Fitzgerald has.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Week Three.
