Matthew Cooper is most famous for leaking the identity of Valerie Plame as a CIA agent in 2005. Cooper was nearly imprisoned for 18 months for contempt of court because he refused to reveal information about the source who told him about Plame's employment by the CIA to a grand jury. However, the night before Cooper was to be imprisoned his source gave him permission to reveal the information.
