What do you guys think about this? Especially you lawerly types like Big K. I personally think it's BS. I don't see why any journalist would be required to reveal his or her source. I know there was a woman jailed recently for the same thing. Maybe it was over the CIA leak case, I don't know. If a writer has to reveal their sources, wouldn't a lot of stuff stay "covered up?"
