Time magazine complied with a court order to turn over information regarding a leak in the White House that exposed the undercover identity of a CIA operative. U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Hogan told the magazine and two reporters yesterday they had one week to comply or be held in contempt of court and the reporters would go to jail. The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) declined to hear pleas of Judith Miller of the New York Times and Matthew Cooper of Time magazine in so doing, dashed the hopes of the two reporters to avoid jail in order to protect the identity of an informer in the Bush Administration.
