Reporters lose in leaks case

The Supreme Court on Monday turned aside pleas by two reporters and a  
magazine urging the Justices to create, for the first time, a right  
not to be forced to reveal to the government their confidential news  
sources. The action means that, at least for the time being, the  
Constitution and federal common law do not recognize a “reporter’s  
privilege” of confidentiality. (The Court denied review in Miller v.  
U.S., 04-1507, Cooper and Time Magazine v. U.S., 04-1508.)
