Reporter ordered to testify in leak probe

Washington, DC, Sep. 17 (UPI) -- A New York Times reporter has been ordered to testify before the grand jury investigating the Valerie Plame leak, according to a ruling released Friday.

Lawyers for Judith Miller, an investigative reporter for The New York Times, had asked U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan to quash a subpoena ordering her to testify before the grand jury. But that action was opposed by special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, and Hogan agreed with the special counsel in an order Sept. 9.

The judge gave both sides time to file motions keeping part of the opinion sealed. All the opinion was then posted to the court's Web site.

Fitzgerald is investigating whether Bush administration officials leaked the fact that Plame was a CIA covert official to retaliate against her husband.

Plame's husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson, served as a special CIA envoy to Africa to discover whether Saddam Hussein was seeking "yellow cake" uranium to build a nuclear weapon. When President George W. Bush used the allegation in a State of the Union address, Wilson publicly contradicted him.
