From the article:
At that point, the FBI agents called up the former official’s lawyer and stepped up the pressure, saying that other witnesses at the White House had signed the statements. “If he’s got nothing to hide, why won’t he sign,” one of the agents asked, according to the former official’s lawyer.

Coerced waivers of "confidentiality agreements" with reporters..
This article refers to both the Hatfill case, and the Valerie Plame case..

Verrrry Interesting...

Pretty much everyone agrees that Dr. Steven J. Hatfill is the guy that sent the anthrax. Unfortunately, they only have circumstantial evidence.

The DOD would like to sweep the whole thing under the rug. It is embarrassing that one of their own employees was responsible for the attacks.

Someone or someones in the DOD or the administration have hindered the investigation from the start. These FBI agents are being attacked for doing nothing more than their jobs.

But Hatfill’s lawyers clearly have their own ideas. They intend to depose a long list of the agents and prosecutors who have worked on the anthrax case and intend to, they have indicated, target first and foremost any that declined to sign the waivers.

They need to depose the agents who met with Rosenberg and staff members of three congressmen. And depose those staffers as well.

The Plame case, including the validity of such “waiver” statements, is headed for a showdown next week when a federal appeals court hears arguments about whether two reporters, Judith Miller of The New York Times and Matthew Cooper of Time magazine, should be incarcerated for refusing to answer questions about their contacts with administration officials who signed the waivers. But largely overlooked is that the Plame waiver appears to be catching on as an accepted practice to pressure reporters to reveal their sources.

Good grief. It seems pretty plain to me. If a source spoke with a reporter and then waives confidentiality there is simply no reason on God's green earth that reporter should then not speak about the conversation.

I will look forward to the results of the appeals court ruling, (unless the reporters reach a deal before that---I kind of hope they don't and the courts rule on this).
