Leak investigations in Washington usually fizzle and die within days of being launched. But one leak probe, now in its 14th month, is rapidly approaching a showdown. Special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald has ordered two reporters, including TIME White House correspondent Matthew Cooper, to tell a grand jury who might have disclosed to them the identity of a covert CIA officer during a tangled political dustup in the summer of 2003.

Many states have these laws already, but over the last year several reporters, including the New York Times' Judith Miller and TIME's Matt Cooper, have been ordered to divulge sources or face jail time.
