Since the beginning of this scandal, the top suspect in many eyes has been President Bush’s senior advisor Karl Rove. Today, the New York Times quotes a source the paper says has been officially briefed on the case as saying that Matt Cooper’s source was indeed Karl Rove. This detail is buried in the 24th paragraph of the Times lead story. The paper says Cooper’s decision to drop his refusal to testify followed discussions on Wednesday morning among lawyers representing Cooper and Rove. The independent prosecutor Peter Fitzgerald was reportedly also involved in the discussions.
