Cooper confirms Rove as Source in testimony

Cooper told reporters he would give them details of his grand jury
testimony -- in a future article for Time magazine.

"I'm not going to scoop myself today," Cooper, a White House
correspondent for the news weekly, said outside the U.S. District
Court Wednesday afternoon, according to a report by the Fox News web
site.

Fox reports:

"Cooper spoke after a two-and-a-half hour appearance before the
grand jury investigating the leak of CIA officer Valerie Plame's
identity. Last week, Cooper escaped a citation for contempt of court
when he told the judge his source had waived confidentiality,
freeing him to testify before the grand jury.

"'Today I testified and agreed to testify solely because of a waiver
I received from my source,' Cooper said outside the
courthouse. 'Once a journalist makes a commitment of confidentiality
to a source, only the source can end that commitment.'

"Cooper said he hoped his testimony would speed up the grand jury's
investigation, which would allow The New York Times' Judith Miller
to be released from jail.>

1. I hope Rove didn't actually give him permission
but Cooper told everyone he did. It gets Cooper off the hook, and who the hell is going to believe KKKarl anyway? A little dirty politics coming back to bite KKKarl on his white ass.

2. Pooper-Scooper Cooper.
Your article will be self-serving. May we have someone a little less biased, please.
