"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...

...according to our conclusions, did not plan to blow up the plane. Rather, they planned an operation that would stop before a bombing and enable Israel to use the matter politically, as it is doing now. Theoretically, they made up a plan to down the plane and created a scenario for executing the plan. But the scenario ends at the plane's doorstep when the woman carrying the briefcase hands it over to an Israeli security officer. She insists on carrying it by hand so that the Israeli security officer can take it. Who is the real beneficiary from this...
