Time Caves on Source

Maybe not a fair assessment, but they are giving up the documents relative to the Plame "outing."

Faced with jail time for one of its reporters, Time magazine agreed yesterday to hand over his notebooks to a grand jury probing the leak of a covert CIA operative's name, in a move that raises questions about press freedom in the United States.

A day earlier, a judge gave Matthew Cooper of Time and Judith Miller of The New York Times a week before sentencing them for refusing to reveal their sources to the grand jury. The move, which the Times said in a report appeared to be "without precedent in living memory," appeared to be over Mr. Cooper's objections.

Interesting decision, though probably the right thing to do for them all around if maybe not the right thing for press freedoms overall.
