If Fitzgerald is the tortoise and Bush the hare, let's hope Aesop was right... http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/iln/osc/index.html "Today the Court of Appeals affirmed that reporters do not have a First Amendment privilege to refuse to comply with a grand jury subpoena issued in good faith. The Court was clear that this has been the law since the Supreme Court decided the Branzburg case in 1972. All three members of the Court also agreed that, even if a qualified privilege exists, the government has shown critical need for the reporters to comply with the subpoenas in this case. We look forward to resuming our progress in this investigation and bringing it to a prompt conclusion." - Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald, February 15, 2006 A summary of the case from the National Journal: http://disc.server.com/discussion.cgi?disc=149495;article=98528;title=APFN -- -------------------------------------------------------- http://cyberjournal.org
