The way I read the decision, the reporters in question may well be compelled to testify, since the court refused to create a journalist's privilege, and also emphasized the legitimacy/importance of the investigation, and that journalists have the same duty as other citizens not to obstruct justice. it means the paper will have to cough up their phone records relevant to this investigation.

It's just like the Hezboz's. They both use a thing protected only in the West to hide behind while they do their dirty work - in the Hezbo's case it is women and kids, in the NYT's case it is the Constitution. Someday soon they will both pay... oh yes, oh yes, someday soon. Be seein' you then Bill and Pinch. Be seein' you then.

Journalists are supposed to collect information from sources, not act as informants for them. Having said that, what about the people who gave them the information? For newspapers to publish this stuff, someone has to reveal it to them first. That’s wrong, to tip someone off that they’re being investigated.
