Cooper recounts Rove call about Valerie Plame CIA link
Time journalist Matthew Cooper recalls a 2003 White House call from Karl Rove in which he says Rove hinted at Valerie Plame Wilson’s CIA connection. Cooper, facing possible jail, notes Rove’s signoff “I've already said too much” and questions what it signified. The White House denies Rove named Plame.

Violence climbs as insurgents kill six police in central Iraq
Insurgents killed six policemen and a government worker in six shootings across central Iraq. U.S. military officials said four insurgents preparing to launch mortars were killed in Tal Afar, and another insurgent was killed near Mosul after a raid. Police reported a colonel killed in Samarra and a police shootout north of Baghdad in Taji. A worker for the Iraqi Trade Ministry died in Dora. Myers, visiting Berlin, said the spike in death by own action bombings won’t derail constitution drafting or democracy, but more violence is expected.
