Rove to Matt Cooper: "I've already said too much, I've got to go."

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-ex-libby31jan1,1,1422628.story?coll=la-headlines-nation&track=crosspromo

Cooper also testified that the day before he spoke to Libby he talked to White House political strategist Karl Rove, asking questions about a column that war critic Joseph C. Wilson IV, Plame's husband, had written a few days earlier in the New York Times.

Cooper testified that Rove cautioned to "don't get too far out on Wilson," and that among other things, told him that his wife worked at the CIA.

"He said she worked on (weapons of mass destruction) for the agency," Cooper said. "By that, I took it to mean the Central Intelligence Agency, not the Environmental Protection Agency. We talked about it a bit more. He said words to the effect, 'I've already said too much, I've got to go.'"

1. Yes, Matt, you knew this since July 2003 and stayed silent while WH and corpmedia
painted Wilson as a liar and pretended that WH was innocent straight through till AFTER the election. Protecting Bush and Rove's campaign, eh?

6. Exactly.
The top adviser to the president and the top adviser to the vice president are in it up to their necks yet some how the media keeps dancing around the obvious conclusion.

8. The CM is afraid to go there. They don't have the guts... without incontrovertable evidence,
without incontrovertable evidence, CM will remain mute, despite the obvious.

10. Rove's Boss!!??
Rove is Rove's boss...and Bush's boss. Bush is simply a puppet that Rove controls the strings of.
