Default Leakgate continues.... How do explain this?

My source is AP and Meet The Press.

Today, Cooper stated that a second source (the first being Rove) was Libby, Cheney's (!) Chief of Staff.

BUT....

In 2003, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said the idea that Rove was involved in leaking information about Wilson's wife was "ridiculous." He also said Libby was not involved.

"I like to check my information to make sure it's accurate before I report back to you," McClellan told the press in October 2003. McClellan said then that he had also checked with Libby and National Security Council official Elliott Abrams before saying they were not involved in the leak.

SO....

Did Rove and/or Libby lie to McClellan? Did McClellan lie to the American people, or did he just have bad information? Is this all just some innocent misunderstanding? Even if the outing of a CIA agent didn't happen, could there be some other crime here? Why did the CIA ask the Dep't of Justice to investigate this?

One thing's for sure, with someone in jail, with all these unanswered questions, with the White House remaining silent and not even repeating what they've claimed in the past, and with the aggressive special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald manning the helm, this ain't over.
