Top court rebuffs paper in leak case


Hell, I don't even remember this leak.

Curious why someone would have leaked this?

Still, I think the real story here is how freely the SCOTUS is willing to give prosecutors free reign when it comes to leaks, especially ones that may involve real whistle blowers.

Top court rebuffs paper in leak case Chicago Tribune:

"WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court refused Monday to shield The New York Times and two of its reporters from a prosecutor's probe into who leaked word of planned raids on two Muslim charities five years ago.

The decision clears the way for prosecutors to review the phone records of the two reporters for several weeks in autumn 2001. The prosecutor, U.S. Atty. Patrick Fitzgerald in Chicago, says the records will help point to the source of the leak.
