Time reporter to testify

I am surprised. I know Time inc turned over his notes anyways, so maybe it's just like "ok you have the notes, lets' get this over with" I hate to see the pressure put on the reporters to turn over sources. I do know though that, as my legal minded sister explained to me about the laws in these matters, if a law was broken reporters are under a different set of circumstances if they protect the source. So our precious 1 st amendment is not so at stake.

ODonnell is going out on a limb that was indeed Rove.

Boy if so, Mr R is in big doo doo, although I know he will find every way to get out. Including saying he didn't "knowingly" give up the source and it can be parsed ala Clinton (although worse in my book cause Clinton just had sex, Rove would be outing a CIA operative putting her life in danger and endangering any work she was doing for national security)

The NY Times's Judith Miller has been jailed for refusing to testify:

I call that treason. In a time of war it is punishable by execution. Nuff said.

It's very bad, and he did it for spite which is beyond belief. The London news is overshadowing but it would be a major story otherwise.
