Rove must not be the leak -- or is he?

While Judith Miller of the New York Times went to jail today rather than reveal a source, contempt charges against Time's Matthew Cooper were dropped after he agreed to testify about his sources.

Cooper said he had been freed from the confidentiality agreement by the source.

That tells me one thing: Cooper's source is not Karl Rove. Can you imagine Rove giving himself up to save anyone? (Or is this damage control because he's about to be exposed anyway? I'm full of questions, aren't I?)

It's probably not George W., either. His self-preservation instincts are so strong he'd let a reporter rot in the hole before he's turn himself in.

Let's see who in the White House takes the fall for outing a CIA agent. Or were there multiple sources?

Wonkette thinks the opposite:

Of course, we'll have to come up with some backstory as to why Cooper didn't ask his source (Karl Rove) to call him a year ago, back when his source (Karl Rove) signed the written document that released Cooper from keeping the source's (Karl Rove's) identity secret.* Also, why didn't Karl call Judy?** Maybe Karl Rove is just unbelievably cruel! Or maybe he has points on the backend of "The Matt Cooper Story."
