The WaPo provides an update to the Valerie Plame Wilson investigation. Here is a link to the TIME story in question.
Intrigung excerpt:
The request to interview reporters may suggest that the probe is nearing a conclusion, because Justice Department guidelines require that prosecutors exhaust all other avenues before calling reporters before a grand jury. Attorneys for several grand jury witnesses and news organizations said it is not clear whether Fitzgerald is moving toward seeking indictments in the case or whether he is preparing to complete it without bringing criminal charges.
And apparently news organizations are fighting the subpoenas - this ghastly national security breach must be investigated, but not with their help. The schizophrenic quality of this scandal - the Administration must determine the identity of a leaker already known to the Big Media - has long been part of its charm. Maybe a network can bring back "I've Got A Secret".
I have a timeline covering the early part of the scandal which has some additional comments on the TIME coverage.
If there was really a close Bush White House aide involved in this scandal, you know the press wouldn't be so tight-lipped. They are fighting too hard to keep quiet. Something stinks here.

The whole story was silly in the first place, since Plame was never placed in any danger from being identified, just protected from having to serve "undercover" any time soon.

Hmmm.
Good point.
So it would have to be a senior administration official whom the leftist media likes and respects.
Colin Powell?

Just a silly thought: Maybe the administration official never really existed and the info came from someone else? Nah, A reporter would never make up things or falsely attribute statements. Just ask USA Today or NYT.
