with the court's order.

WASHINGTON --
A Time magazine reporter agreed to testify today in a federal
investigation into the outing of a CIA operative after he said his
source released him from confidentiality, but a second journalist
refused to testify and could be jailed
"I am prepared to testify. I will comply" with the court's order,
Time's Matthew Cooper told U.S. District Judge Thomas F. Hogan,
according to the Associated Press.
"I went to bed ready to accept the sanctions" for not testifying,
Cooper said. But he told the judge that before his early afternoon
appearance he had received "in somewhat dramatic fashion" a direct
personal communication from his source freeing him from his commitment
to keep the source's identity secret.
New York Times reporter Judith Miller refused to testify.
Hogan could send her to jail for four months.
Special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald was seeking the identities of
sources with whom reporters spoke in the days before columnist Robert
Novak exposed Valerie Plame as a CIA agent on July 14, 2003.

So this guy gets an 11th hour message from the "source" that's it's now
Okey Dokey to reveal his identity.
Suspicious huh? 2 years on, and now, he's going to give it up. Something
from the rotten pork barrel stinks.
Rove must have found a patsy. Someone he's got something on, or, he's
calling in a marker.
Coverup and whitewash to begin ASAP.

Scooter Libby gave Cooper permission back in August, 2004.
This a SECOND source.

George Bush's War of Choice on Iraq is a totally unnecessary war.
Every life lost, every limb lost, every disfigurement, every
disability caused there is more blood on George W. Bush's hands,
and on the hands of everyone who voted for George W. Bush.
