DU this Article on Yahoo News: Reporter Says Cheney Aide Was a Source

"By PETE YOST, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - The vice president's chief of staff, Lewis Libby, was a source along with the president's chief political adviser for a Time story that identified a CIA officer, the magazine reporter said Sunday, further countering White House claims that neither aide was involved in the leak.


In an effort to quell a chorus of calls to fire deputy White House chief of staff Karl Rove, Republicans said that Rove originally learned about Valerie Plame's identity from the news media. That exonerates Rove, the Republican Party chairman said, and Democrats should apologize.

But it is not clear that it was a journalist who first revealed the information to Rove."

2. Okay, so THIS is interesting...
"This was the first time I had heard anything about Wilson's wife," Cooper wrote of his phone call with Rove.

Cooper also had a conversation about Wilson and his wife with Libby, Cheney's chief of staff.

According to Cooper, "Libby replied, 'Yeah, I've heard that too' or words to that effect" when Cooper asked if Libby had heard anything about Wilson's wife sending her husband to Niger. Cooper's testimony about Libby came in August 2004, after Libby, like Rove this month, provided a specific waiver of confidentiality, Cooper said.

****

I thought it was ROVE who said "I heard that too"...they just can't get their story straight, can they?

P.S. I rated this a 5 but when I went back to check it it said it was not rated. What gives?

3. Since they changed their system, that happens sometimes.
I can't figure out if the vote is counted or not. Sound familiar?
