What about Bob?…

No review of the Cooper-Miller case from SCOTUS. Which means they’ll probably be off to jail soon. From Editor & Publisher:

Cooper, a Time magazine reporter, and Miller, who works for The New York Times, were held in contempt of court last year for refusing to divulge the source or sources who leaked the identity of CIA Agent Valerie Plame to them. Judge Thomas Hogan of the U.S. District Court held them in contempt in the fall, ordering them to jail if they refused to reveal the source. Plame’s identity had been revealed publicly in 2003 by columnist Robert Novak.

Seems to me if they really want to find out who leaked it they should be asking Bob Novak–who actually outed CIA Agent Valerie Plame in his column. I’ll bet he’d roll over in a second if threatened with jail. Hmmmmmm…
