Isikoff's Unnamed Sources

Michael Isikoff tackles the Matt Cooper/ Judith Miller/ Bob Novak/ Karl Rove/ Valerie Plame/ Joe Wilson story in Newsweek.

Some
highlights:


NEWSWEEK obtained a copy of the e-mail that Cooper sent his bureau chief after speaking to Rove. (The e-mail was authenticated by a source intimately familiar with Time's editorial handling of the Wilson story, but who has asked not to be identified because of the magazine's corporate decision not to disclose its contents.)

A source close to Rove, who declined to be identified because he did not wish to run afoul of the prosecutor or government investigators, added that there was "absolutely no inconsistency" between Cooper's e-mail and what Rove has testified to during his three grand-jury appearances in the case.

I love how Isikoff explains his reasons for not identifying his sources on a story about a mystery source!
