Is Libby off the hook as the Plame leaker?
Kos' take on the WaPo story from last night:

http://www.dailykos.com/

But even as Fitzgerald appeared to have reached the end of one investigative thread, he unspooled yet another yesterday, sending new broadly worded subpoenas for documents and testimony to Time magazine and one of its reporters, Matthew Cooper. Under threat of jail for contempt of court, Cooper agreed to be questioned three weeks ago about conversations he had with I. Lewis Libby, a senior aide to Vice President Cheney.

Pincus answered questions about Libby as well. Both he and Cooper said they did so with Libby's approval, and both said that their conversations with Libby did not touch on the identity of Wilson's wife.

Fitzgerald had focused on Libby as the possible leaker of Plame's name and identity, but the new subpoenas to Time suggest he may be rethinking that theory. Four reporters have now testified at Libby's urging that he did not disclose Plame's name or identity to them.

1. My take on it...
"Four reporters have now testified at Libby's urging that he did not disclose Plame's name or identity to them. "

In other words, "If you finger me..."

I am beginning to think we will never get to the bottom of this...sadly.
