July 12 Charlie Rose Show
"CHARLIE ROSE: So my question is, did Karl Rove ever name her specifically?
"[New York Times correspondent] RICHARD STEVENSON: Well, what he did was he alluded to her job and her role in getting her husband this job, going to Africa, but he did not use her name specifically. Whether that amounts to identifying her or not under the law is something that we don`t know, and will be up to initially the special prosecutor in the case to make a judgment on, and then ultimately, should it ever come to this, to a jury….
"CHARLIE ROSE: OK. But let me just make this clear, and I think it`s clear, but Karl Rove, according to Matt [Cooper], never identified by name Valerie, and, secondly -- Joe Wilson`s wife -- and, secondly, never said that she was a covert CIA operative. He simply said that the wife of Joe Wilson was responsible for sending him to Niger.
