This is an interesting matter... WASHINGTON - A federal judge held a reporter for Time magazine in contempt of court Monday for refusing to testify before a grand jury investigating the leak of the identity of a covert CIA officer. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=542&ncid=716&e=3&u=/ap/20040809/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/cia_leak "We are disappointed in the decision," Kelly said. "We don't think a journalist should be required to give up a confidential source. We're going to appeal it as far as it goes." But we don't mind if the confidence of a CIA agent is given up? 205417 discuss...
