How do you get that from:
______________________________________________
Mr. Cooper refused, leading to the contempt order yesterday. By contrast, Mr. Russert agreed to cooperate.
In a statement, NBC said Mr. Russert was interviewed under oath by prosecutors on Saturday. NBC said Mr. Russert had not been a recipient of a leak and was not asked questions that would have required him to disclose a confidential source.
"The questioning focused on what Russert said when Lewis (Scooter) Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, phoned him last summer," NBC reported Saturday. "Russert told the special prosecutor that at the time of the conversation he didn't know Plame's name or that she was a C.I.A. operative and did not provide that information to Libby."

Your def. of a puff peece about Bush and the definition of the vast majority of people probably significantly differs
I think to you anyone that gives W slight credit in any regard is a traitor

I am unsure if a significant number of people will more than slightly if at all care about the leaking of the name. Now, if this goes to a criminal court and W or Cheney is implicated in a crime, which remains to be seen and is, at the slightest, an uphill battle, then yes, it will be huge
