1. After Cooper talked to Rove he called Libby

and asked him about Plame and Libby told him "I've heard that".

2. Libby was Cooper's 2nd source

He confirmed for Cooper what he had found out from Rove about Valerie Wilson. Libby has long been suspected of being involved. But Cooper's testimony is the first real confirmation of that suspicion that I've seen.

3. I'm thinking he may have told Walter Pincus as well

A day later, Cheney's top aide, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, told Cooper he had heard the same thing about Plame, and a senior administration official flagged Wilson's wife's role, almost in passing, to the Washington Post's Walter Pincus.

4. It's just a big daisy chain up there in DC

They're all involved. Each one's nose is firmly embedded in the other's crotch. Face it, no one is innocent in this administration. If you're working for Bush, you're part of the Machine, and your an accomplice if nothing else. If we could just START from that premise, it would probably be easier to find the two or three honest people at BushCo and give them a medal, then just put one of those bug-tents over the whole place and gas out the rest of the vermin.
