WASHINGTON (AP) -- A federal appeals court said Friday it would release some of the documents it reviewed when deciding to force journalists to testify in the CIA leak investigation. The ruling followed a request by The Associated Press and Dow Jones, which asked for the release of the sworn statements Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald gave to justify subpoenas for New York Times reporter Judith Miller and Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper in 2005.

I submit to you good people, what if Fitzgerald hands down no indictment? First, will the media perform a mea cupla, mea maximia cupla? Will the CIA get the house cleaning it needs?

You opinions leavened with humor, as you please.
