(Attorney) SAUBER: And, on my plane flight from Chicago into Washington, I read the account in the Wall Street Journal. I picked up a copy of the Wall
Street Journal. And in there, right at the end of the article about this matter is the following statement: "Mr. Rove hasn't asked any reporter to treat him as a confidential source in the matter," Mr. Luskin said, who I understand is Mr. Rove's lawyer. "So if Matt Cooper is going to jail to protect a source, it's not Karl he's protecting."

I immediately called Matt from the plane and said, "You ought to take a look at this comment. I think it is interesting and I think we
should give a shot of calling Mr. Luskin and seeing if we could get a specific waiver," which Matt authorized me to do.

I arrived in Washington early Wednesday morning. I put in a call
to Mr. Luskin and asked him for a specific waiver. He called me back close to 12:30 that morning, an hour and a half before we were due back in court, which was scheduled for 2:00 o'clock, and he dictated to me a letter that he would be willing to agree to, which I typed up and sent to him.

He initialed it and sent it back to me probably around 1:00 o'clock, and we came to court.

We are going to pass out copies of the letter, but I just want to
make clear the specificity that Matt especially wanted in the letter.
If you recall, Matt has made the point that the general waivers were things that he could not and did not want to rely on.

So I asked Mr. Luskin if he would agree to the following language, which he did, that: "Consistent with his written waiver of confidentiality he previously executed, Mr. Rove affirms his waiver of any claim of confidentiality he may have concerning any conversation he may have had with Matthew Cooper of Time magazine during the month of July 2003."

1. As everyone probably knows, Cooper seems hell-bent on selling some

Time magazines over this, and Luskin's public comment that Cooper "burned" Rove seems very bizarre. Did Sauber talk to the real Luskin? Or are the liars losing track of their multitudinous lies? Is Luskin off his meds?
