Justice For Journos
December 10, 2004
This week, reporters in two cases stared down jail time for refusing to name their confidential sources. The journalists believe that they should be protected from having to testify. Afterall, if they revealed their source they could never be trusted again. But law professor and author Geoffrey Stone says the law is simply not on their side. As well, he says that even if a federal shield law did exist, it wouldn't protect the likes of Judith Miller or Matthew Cooper. Geoffrey Stone joins Brooke to explain. And, Time Magazine's Matthew Cooper joins the show to talk about the illegal leaker whose name he is simply not willing to give up.
