Should the judge in the Scooter Libby case impose a gag order on the lawyers for both sides, stopping leaks to the press? Tom Maguire, Jeralyn Merritt, emptywheel, and Jane Hamsher debate the matter. Merritt provides links to the legal documents and sums up the issue (as well as providing more in-depth analysis):

Shorter Fitz: His office didn't leak anything and because his office doesn't talk to the media about the case he takes no position on whether there should be a gag order.

Shorter Libby: Team Libby admits to two disclosures, explains and justifies them, (quite well in my opinion) and opposes a gag order.

I think the Judge will not issue a gag order based on Libby's response.
