Rove met with Cooper in the summer of '03

Apparently "The Architecht," Karl Rove, met with Time Magazine's Matt Cooper shortly before Valerie Plame was outed by Robert Novak back in the summer of 2003. Predictably, Rove's lawyer is insisting that he was not the source of the leak.

...We'll see about that. But considering all the hoopla about SDO's resignation and the jockeying that is going on to ensure that an 'acceptable' nominee is put forward, it's pretty poor time for Rove to be in the news like this.
