[SlaveNoMore]

Mmmm, Burger (C.J.)
Cite please? Rove sent an email saying he talked to Cooper about welfare reform. Cooper said he doesn't recall talking about welfare reform. Cooper sent an email to someone else at time re Plame.

I had to google a bit, but here:

First the e-mail. According to a report in Newsweek, Cooper's e-mail to Time Washington bureau chief Michael Duffy said, "Spoke to Rove on double super secret background for about two mins before he went on vacation..." Cooper said that Rove had warned him away from getting "too far out on Wilson," and then passed on Rove's statement that neither Vice President Dick Cheney nor CIA Director George Tenet had picked Wilson for the trip; "it was, KR said, wilson's wife, who apparently works at the agency on wmd issues who authorized the trip." Finally — all of this is according to the Newsweek report — Cooper's e-mail said that "not only the genesis of the trip is flawed an[d] suspect but so is the report. he [Rove] implied strongly that there's still plenty to implicate iraqi interest in acquiring uranium fro[m] Niger..."

As I said, if your view is simply that nothing that doesn't break the law is immoral or wrong, that's fine. But say it and be straight.

I've said before - and I'll say it again - that something that doesn't break the law and used specifically to refute lies (both express and implied) of an administration foe is far from wrong. To call it immoral is beyond absurd.
