Matt Cooper

• Defining a Journalist

Would this reporter's privilege apply to one of those [imagine a near sneer] bloggers?" Judge David Semelle asked media lawyer Floyd Abrams during the argument on behalf of reporters Judy Miller and Matt Cooper, who sought to quash a subpoena seeking the identities of their sources in the investigation of former White House staffer I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby. At the Reporters Committee, not a day goes by when a congressional staffer, reporter, radio talk show host or prosecutor doesn't raise the issue of whether bloggers are "real" journalists.

• Journalism in the Twilight Zone

Plamegate is rich with symptoms of the journalistic malignancy [Stone] diagnosed. Most obvious among them is Times reporter [Judy Miller], whose blind acceptance of lies about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction from sources such as [Bush, Cheney] handmaiden I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby is unforgettable. Miller's ill-founded front-page stories "were deeply flawed, highly partisan and often wrong," [Norman Pearlstine Farrar] writes, joining a chorus of harsh critics. So when Miller, counseled by [Lloyd Abrams], played Joan of Arc in an orange jumpsuit rather than reveal Libby as a source, even some media First Amendment absolutists winced. Libby and Karl Rove peddled the [Valerie Plame] leak everywhere. Pearlstine argues that half a dozen media heavyweights who obtained waivers of confidential...

• Reitz's Sanders Doesn't Let Pressure Cook His Chances

When Reitz High School junior Matt Sanders stepped onto the approach last Saturday at Cooper's Sport Bowl in Anderson, I saw a calm that few could exhibit given the situation - the same expression I see on his face all the time. Sanders was getting ready to bowl E.J. Tackett of Huntington North for the Boys State Singles Championship. If you were watching on-line, it seemed that Tackett already had been crowned champion byPBA legend Mike Aulby.

• High-Profile Journalists Pivotal for Prosecution

The indictment of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby Jr. sets the stage for an extraordinary Washington drama in which some of the city's best- known journalists, including NBC's Tim Russert, would be prosecution witnesses at a public trial against a one-time powerful White House official. The charges yesterday include obstruction of justice and perjury. Those counts are based on conversations Mr. Libby had in July 2003 with Mr. Russert, Time magazine's Matt Cooper and the New York Times' Judith Miller.

• Cheney Adviser Named in Cia Flap ; Libby Added As Source for Agent

Time magazine correspondent Matt Cooper yesterday named a second Bush administration official as a source for stories that identified Valerie Plame as an agent of the CIA, although he conceded that neither source mentioned her by name or said she had been a "cover agent. In a first-person article in this week's editions of the magazine, Mr. Cooper writes that he told a federal grand jury investigating the leak that he asked Lewis "Scooter" Libby, chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, whether the vice president played any role in arranging Joseph C. Wilson IV's trip to Niger, as Mr. Wilson, a former U.S. ambassador to Gabon and then to Sao Tome and Principe, had suggested in an op-ed essay in the New York Times.
