This could be why there haven't been any Plame indictments yet

I was checking google news and found this story from two weeks ago, when Bush was questioned by Fitzgerald. Buried in the story is a sentence about how two news organizations are fighting subpoenas and a hearing is set for July 8 (today) in federal court. It makes sense for no indictments to be brought before that issue is resolved.

Fitzgerald is also attempting to subpoena reporters to testify before a grand jury about their coverage of the leaks -- a tactic that under Justice Department guidelines is permitted only as a last resort. Time magazine and NBC are fighting the subpoena requests, and a hearing is set for July 8 in federal court in Washington.
