Time Magazine says he already tried to plead out.
Right, the plea deal involved jail time so was rejected by Libby's team. I suspect the 2 perjury charges will be eventually dropped.
It was not in Libby's best interests to plead guily and go to jail when he can drag this out and get pardoned.
I suspect this is the prosecutor's move to put pressure on the White House for a plea.
However, I really suspect that this is Drudge hyping this story.
Remember FOX, CNN, and MSNBC get good ratings during scandals, even boring ones.
