A federal prosecutor on Tuesday demanded that Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper testify before a grand jury investigating the leak of a CIA officer's identity, even though Time Inc. has surrendered e-mails and other documents in the probe.
Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald also opposed the request of Cooper and New York Times reporter Judith Miller to be granted home detention - instead of jail - for refusing to reveal their sources.
"Journalists are not entitled to promise complete confidentiality - no one in America is," Fitzgerald wrote.
Fitzgerald is investigating who in the administration leaked the identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame.
