Maybe.  |
It's weird that would Rove go that far to "prove" that Cheney didn't authorize the trip, just to zing Wilson and blame the CIA. He could have told Cooper it was someone from the agency, not specifically Wilson's wife...that probably would have been sufficient. How could he not know that what he was doing was a federal offense?
I thought that Wilson reported his findings to the administration BEFORE Dubya's speech. I might have it mixed up.
