The Plame Game (again)
May 28, 2004
Two more journalists have been subpoenaed in the federal investigation into the tip that led columnist Robert Novak to out CIA operative Valerie Plame. NBC’s Tim Russert and Time Magazine’s Matthew Cooper say they never received the tip, but they will fight the subpoenas anyway because journalists, if they want to remain journalists, do not reveal their sources. Lucy Dalglish is the Executive Director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. She joins Bob to explain reporters’ privilege and whether the law will protect these journalists this time.
