WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. investigators looking into the unauthorized disclosure of an undercover CIA (news - web sites) operative's identity have asked White House staff members to free reporters from any promises of confidentiality they may have made to their sources, Time magazine said on Friday.

Single-page forms designed to release reporters, if signed, went to Karl Rove, President Bush (news - web sites)'s senior political adviser, among other administration officials, the magazine said on its Web site.

Such a move could be used to push journalists, possibly under the threat of a subpoena, to disclose who revealed that former ambassador Joseph Wilson's wife worked for the CIA.
