ABC Corrects Cooper-Libby-Rove Error
ABC reported this morning that Time Reporter Matt Cooper told Good Morning America that Lewis Libby had identified Valerie Plame Wilson as an undercover operative to him.
Bloggers knew this was a bogus report. ABC has now corrected its error. [Note: The article is still misleading in reporting that "One of the reporters at the center of the investigation into the leak of the identity of an undercover CIA officer, says he first learned the agent's name from President Bush's top political advisor, Karl Rove." Rove never used the name Valerie Plame when talking to Cooper.]
Bloggers on the ball: Firedoglake, Mark Kleiman (who posts the text of the original report)and Talkleft (see comments)
The transcript is not up on lexis yet, I searched. I think the ABC article got it wrong, but we'll see.
Patriot Daily was the first to alert me to the suspect article.
