Time Magazine to Hand Over Reporter Notes - Yahoo! News

Time Magazine to Hand Over Reporter Notes - Yahoo! News:

"Time Inc. said Thursday it would comply with a court order to deliver the notes of a reporter threatened with jail in a probe of the leak of a
CIA officer's name. The New York Times, which is also involved in the dispute, said it was 'deeply disappointed' at the move, which came days after the
U.S. Supreme Court rejected two journalists' appeal.

U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan is threatening to jail Matthew Cooper, Time's White House correspondent, and Judith Miller of the Times for contempt for refusing to disclose their sources. Time said it believed its cooperation would make Cooper's jailing unnecessary."
