Why isn't Guckert/Gannon in jail, since Miller is?
GANNON: And the FBI did come to interview me. They were interested in where -- how I knew or received a copy of a confidential CIA memo that said that Valerie Plame suggested that Joe Wilson be sent on this mission, something that everybody -- they have all vigorously denied but is, in effect, true.

BLITZER: So they didn't make you go testify before the grand jury?

GANNON: No.

BLITZER: Do you have to reveal how you got that memo?

GANNON: No.

BLITZER: They didn't ask you?

GANNON: Well, the FBI kept asking. I said, well, look, I'm a journalist, I can't --

BLITZER: You didn't tell them?

GANNON: Yes. Can't divulge that. And they accepted that, and I've never been asked again.


Either he DID divulge it, or he should be in jail. Old report from Media Matters with links etc:

1. Don't let him fool ya!
This guy probably sang like a canary. He has too much to lose for the SP to start digging around information on him. Best he come forward and talk. He is the type like Novack.....

3. Could be.
"Republican activist Clifford May wrote Monday, in National Review Online, that he had been told of her identity by a non-government source before my column appeared and that it was common knowledge," said Novak in his follow-up column.

Who would that "non-government source" be?

"I will tell you that the information did not come from inside the administration," Gannon told Talon News. "For something that is supposed to be classified, it seems that this document is easily accessible."

Hmmm.... He knows something, and unless he told it truthfully, he either should be or will be going to jail.
