Jonah raises an interesting point. Reading the tea-leaves … Los Angeles Times, October 7, 2005: Excerpt: “… [Fitzgerald] phoned Wilson on Sept. 29, the same day Miller, the New York Times reporter jailed for refusing to divulge her confidential source, was released from jail after agreeing to testify in the case. She testified the next day.”

IF this is accurate, it suggests to me that if Wilson was under investigation or in any prosecutorial danger, Fitzgerald would not be free to call Wilson directly and in such an informal manner.
