WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The federal prosecutor investigating who leaked the identity of a CIA operative is expected to signal within days whether he intends to bring indictments in the case, legal sources close to the investigation said on Wednesday.

As a first step, prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald was expected to notify officials by letter if they have become targets, said the lawyers, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.

Fitzgerald could announce plea agreements, bring indictments, or conclude that no crime was committed. By the end of this month he is expected to wrap up his nearly two-year-old investigation into who leaked CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity.

I can't recall ever seeing so many leaks from a "secret" Grand Jury hearing.

Why don't they just make them open to the public, so we can hear the truth, instead of the constant BS from the lame stream media.

Holy smokes! It's a troll infestation! You guys must have hit a nerve!

Odd how EVERY single article that was ever written
about Special Prosecutor investigations of the Clinton
mafia, kept a running tally of how much, right down
to the penny, the investigation was costing the "Merican People"...........
oh, that's right............they were democrats.
All of this is making me angry all over again at how the
Clinton's were let off the hook.

Why would you be skeptical? Miller, in her own article, wrote that she testified that Libby was not her source for the leak of the name, that she thought the name came from another source.

Yup. I lurked his blog for a bit - mostly demonization of people & issues they don't understand. Almost as ridiculous as DU. But hey, its a free country - the longer the Left is Stuck on Stupid, the easier my job in 06 & 08. :)

"Why would you be skeptical"

I'm only skeptical b/c this prosecuter is one of the best, and is very viligant re leaks. Most the info we're seeing in the papers & on the net is suspect.
