On Wednesday, after Tom DeLay was indicted, I said that it seemed a season of indictments might be upon us. And now, just in time for indictment season, New York Times reporter Judith Miller has agreed to testify before the grand jury that is investigating the CIA leak case.

The agreement gets Miller out of jail and, according to media reports, clears the last big obstacle to concluding the investigation into who in the Bush administration may have illegally outed a covert CIA operative as an act of political retribution.

One lawyer said it could become clear as early as next week whether [Special Prosecutor Patrick] Fitzgerald plans to indict anyone or has negotiated a plea bargain.

When she testifies before the grand jury today, Miller will talk about conversations she had with her secret source on matters relating to the outed CIA operative. And who is that source? Lewis Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff.
