...that a journalist is imprisoned for a story she did not write about a crime that may not have been committed. But nothing about the case involving Judith Miller, the New York Times reporter who was sent to jail last week for contempt of court, or TIME's Matthew Cooper, who avoided the same fate at the last minute, has been simple...
...Miller, Cooper and Time Inc. (TIME'S parent company), which had been ordered to turn over files Cooper had used to co-author a Time.com story about the leaks, fought the order up to the Supreme Court, which declined to hear the case two weeks ago. Subsequently, Norman Pearlstine, editor-in-chief of Time Inc., surrendered the documents. Cooper was prepared to go to jail, but just before he was set to face the judge, his source released him from his pledge of confidentiality, freeing him to testify before the grand jury.

Another way in which this case differs from a typical one is that unlike in a traditional whistle-blower scenario in which a source is being protected from potential retaliation, the source or sources being protected in the Cooper case may well have been retaliating against Wilson. "This was leading into a blind alley," says Jim Wheaton, who teaches media law at Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley. "If the Supreme Court had taken the case, it was likely to say there's no privilege, period." Jay Rosen, chairman of New York University's journalism department, understood...
