Judges Order 2 Reporters to Testify on Leak (washingtonpost.com)
According to the appellate court's opinion, Fitzgerald knows the identity of the person with whom Miller spoke and wants to question her about her contact with that "specified government official" on or about July 6, 2003. Miller never wrote a story on the subject.
In a statement, Fitzgerald said: "We look forward to resuming our progress in this investigation and bringing it to a prompt conclusion."

I think a lot of people are letting their imaginations get too far ahead of the story. For one thing, Miller NEVER published Plame's name in public, so even if Plame were covert (and she wasn't) it would be moot, AFAIK.
Good point, Sam. If Miller isn't the target of the investigation, then her 5th Amendment rights are meaningless. She can assert them on the stand, and the prosecutor could force her to testify by granting her immunity from prosecution.
BTW, notice something here about the dates:
"According to the appellate court's opinion, Fitzgerald knows the identity of the person with whom Miller spoke and wants to question her about her contact with that "specified government official" on or about July 6, 2003. Miller never wrote a story on the subject."
