Well, it wasn't a Last Minute Call from the Gropinator?

Lordy, Lordy:

Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper agreed Wednesday to testify about his sources in a government leak of a CIA agent's identity, an about-face that came as he faced jail time in a fierce First Amendment fight...

Cooper took the podium in the court and told the judge, "Last night I hugged my son good-bye and told him it might be a long time before I see him again."...

And then the soundtrack music swelled and then...

"I went to bed ready to accept the sanctions" for not testifying, Cooper said. But he told the judge that not long before his early afternoon appearance, he had received "in somewhat dramatic fashion" a direct personal communication from his source freeing him from his commitment to keep the source's identity secret.

What was the signal?
