Tell Ya What I'm Gonna Do, Judy

Who caved? Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald caved, and Judith Miller got what she wanted.

"Fitzgerald made a recent and important compromise. The prosecutor would narrow his questions to Libby, which he had not been willing to do when Abrams (Miller's then lawyer) approached him about the idea last year."

Why did Fitzgerald cave? "The grand jury hearing the case is to conclude its work by Oct. 28."

"Sources close to Miller said she had numerous government sources she wanted to protect, but Libby was the only one relevant to the Plame investigation."

"A source close to Miller said yesterday that her testimony does not implicate Libby as intentionally and knowingly identifying Plame."

Judith Miller walked and testified, after 85 days in jail for REFUSING to testify in the Valerie Plame CIA leak case.

She didn't really need a personal waiver of confidentially from Scooter Libby -- he issued a blanket waiver last year. Miller wasn't protecting Libby.

Possibly all of Miller's talk about protecting sources is merely lip service, and Miller is in reality protecting herself from testifying not only about information she may have received, but also divulged.

Power Line elaborates.

Here's the leak probe timeline.
