Google is bad...
I got the following google alert

Google Alert for: rove plame

Rove/Plame saga continues in Washington
ISN - Zurich,Switzerland
... That is the main question in the ongoing Rove/Plame case. ... "So did Rove leak Plame's name to me, or tell me she was covert? No," said Cooper on Sunday. ...

It sure does make it sound like Cooper is denying that he learned of Plame and her place of employment from Rove, doesn't it...
But when you go to the link:

http://www.isn.ethz.ch/news/sw/details.cfm?ID=12237

You discover that the above is followed by:

"“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,” he said.

“Did Rove say that she worked at the ‘agency’ on ‘WMD’ ? Yes,” the Time reporter added emphatically."

bad google, bad..

1. Google has no feelings, Google is automated, Google just
does what you ask it to.

4. so which part of the machine
picked the one representative descriptive sentence in the entire link that points to the conclusion opposite of the gist of the piece?

(really curious here)

5. That part that parsed out the first few sentences which are really
questions. It's easy to cherry pick an article you don't like, just because you start to disagree with it half-way through. It's just an algorithm.
