So Matt Cooper agrees to testify …
I’ll be curious to see what turn of events led to this or whether it was just the approaching prospect of a long stint in prison. In Cooper’s case I’ll give a strong benefit of the doubt till I hear otherwise, since he’s one of the few people who’s held his head high through this whole sordid and long-drawn-out affair.
Of equal interest to me is Judith Miller.
As we suggested a few days ago, it’s not clear to me that Miller is in this jam for the same reasons as Cooper is.
And in the Post this morning comes this hint: “Fitzgerald may learn more details from Cooper’s notes. Sources close to the investigation say there is evidence in some instances that some reporters may have told government officials — not the other way around — that Wilson was married to Plame, a CIA employee.”
Go figure …
