It could not be immediately determined whether Miller has now agreed to testify.

My guess: She has agreed to testify. Her sentence isn't up until the grand jury expires - sometime in October - unless they've finished early. There is no good time on these sentences. She must have made a deal with Fitzgerald who asked the court to order her released now. I wonder why the MSM missed it. Even if the motion and order were filed under seal, there'd be a record entry on the docket sheet that would say something like "sealed motion filed" or "order entered, sealed" that should have gotten the media's attention.

She had Libby's waiver a year ago. What's different now? The threat of a criminal contempt charge. Maybe she got a promise from Fitzgerald that he wouldn't ask about anyone other than Libby. Maybe she and John Bolton had more to talk about when he visited her than how she was holding up. Maybe she decided to tell that she told Libby, rather than the other way around. But then, she'd have to tell how she knew.

So, was the prospect of more jail just too much for her and she decided to give up her journalistic principles? Or was there nothing for her to fear all along? Hopefully, we'll know soon.

There should be lots of blogger reaction on this. I'll be curious to see their takes before coming to a more definite conclusion.

Update: Coincidence? The Philly Inquirer is the first to get the story. Libby's lawyer, Joseph Tate, is from Philadelphia. The article says he couldn't be reached for comment. Do you believe that? Did he give them the information as "background" meaning he wouldn't be identified as the source?

Update: Thanks to Digby for reminding me of this post, which I think spells it out.
