...kind of thinking reminds me of the surgeon who announces, "The operation was a success, but the patient died." I suppose Rice will declare total victory when Iraq has become the world's largest graveyard. Ronald Rubin Topanga, California, U.S. Sharing Journalists' Notes Time's decision to turn over Cooper's reporting notes [July 18] is akin to negotiating with terrorists. It only emboldens enemies of the First Amendment. The issue is not about Time magazine. It is about the public trust that you hold. Or at least held. Valarie S. Zeeck Tacoma, Washington, U.S. Time did the right thing...
...unknown reasons, to the medical facilities. He enlists the help of a Mafia boss (Peter Stormare, playing against Nordic type) by finding--don't ask how--the witness protection-sheltered stoolie who fingered him. He cozies up to a prisoner who may or may not be famed hijacker D.B. Cooper (Muse Watson). And he helps build an anniversary gift for the wife of the warden (Stacy Keach), to whom it never occurs that a guy who can craft the Taj Mahal out of toothpicks just might be able to pick the lock of his cage...
...Whether Karl Rove technically broke a law when he leaked the identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame [wife of Bush Administration critic Joseph Wilson] is beside the point [July 25]. Despite repeated denials by the White House, Rove talked about Plame to Time's Matthew Cooper as well as to Robert Novak, the reporter who blew her cover. So the President's deputy chief of staff was involved in revealing the identity of a covert CIA officer because her husband disputed George W. Bush's claim that Iraq attempted to buy uranium from Niger. The President's right-hand...
...Cooper's Testimony Time correspondent Matthew Cooper's account of what he told the grand jury investigating the leak of the identity of CIA officer Plame [July 25] increased my level of trust in journalists several notches above its usual place?that is, below that of used-car salesmen. Cooper admitted that he couldn't make perfect sense of some of his notes, didn't have infallible recall and didn't know all the legal ramifications of everything that happened. He actually seems to think that he can be a little like the rest of us and still...
...What stands out most for me is the lengths to which Cooper was willing to go to protect Rove as his source [of information that Wilson's wife worked for the CIA]?just as any great reporter would for any other source. Too often those in this country, who decry the "mainstream news media" as liberally biased, forget that the Founding Fathers wrote the First Amendment to protect our democracy, not to destroy it. By keeping Rove's identity confidential, Cooper, in the finest tradition of journalism, proved that freedom of the press protects all of us, regardless of race...
