The Washington Post reported that the investigation into who illegally revealed the identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame is over, other than the questioning of the two reporters who have refused to testify. Special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald filed a motion with the court March 22 said the “factual investigation” other than testimony of reporters Judith Miller and Matt Cooper was “for all practical purposes complete” last October. The Post said that suggests he as indeed interviewed Robert D. Novak, whose column naming Plame set off the investigation. (4/8/05)
