Time to Reveal Sources

Time magazine will comply with a court order to reveal the identity of the sources in the Valerie Plame affair. Daly Thoughts has an interesting take on why the Feds aren't going after Bob Novak. I happen to agree with this theory.

On another note, a judge also ordered four reporters in the Wen Ho Lee case to reveal their sources on Tuesday.

I will not shed a single tear for reporters forced to reveal "anonymous" sources. There have never been consequences for reporters to go with a story based on these sources, which are often complete B.S. (or imaginary). The only people who suffer are others whose reputations and careers are destroyed. So cry me a river over your First Amendment rights. (After all, it is your favored judges who are doing away with the Constitution anyway.)
